In the United States, we have the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence to state our freedom to speak for ourselves in any way possible peacefully.
Trump has violated those rights by silencing the opposing party - aren’t we all people?- and has gotten away with it because of his state as president. For a better USA, we deserve a place where we can speak up and not be beaten down for it, we deserve to be able to show our opinion to the world; by silencing the website where Democrats peacefully - yes, peacefully - discuss state matters, policies, and the world - which, if I may add, so do people and kids - he is violating our freedom of speech. This cannot be allowed, as we all know that the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence are the guidelines to the USA: they are what makes the United States the best it can be.
Let’s show the world how multiple hands joined together to make a strike peacefully can change power.
Arshi supported: Trump Is Weaponizing the Government Against Democrats — Stop This Attack on ActBlueLearning about the true history of our nation helps us to embrace those who have been left out. All are welcome here.
Eleisa and Tony supported: Preserve Progress: Say No to Restoring Symbols of OppressionIf these monuments are reinstalled, they should have plaques explaining the reality of what those, so called, heroes actually did and how their actions harmed their victims.
Charles supported: Preserve Progress: Say No to Restoring Symbols of OppressionI’m a former public school teacher now preschool teacher. Both my kids went to public school and my daughter is in her dream college thanks to a Pell grant. I have also seem the importance of special Ed and all the things the department of Ed offers for that. Please reconsider taking the department of Ed away.
Kim supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItAs a public school teacher who grew up in a low-income family, I am a testament to the benefits the Department of Education provides. Were it not for Federal financial aid, I would not have been able to afford my college education, and my life would've taken a much different trajectory. Also, thanks to IDEA, my older sister, who has cerebral palsy, was able to get the services and resources she needed to get an appropriate education. As an education professional, I know that our public education system needs improvement. However, free public education has been one of the factors that has made America great, so shouldn't we want to preserve it for future generations?
Christine supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItI was born with a rare disease and had a 504 plan in school. Even with that plan in place, my mother had to fight the school administration to get me the accommodations I needed. Doing away with the Department of Education means protections for disabled students, such as 504 and IDEA, will at best be enforced in a slapdash manner at the state level or at worst disappear entirely. Either way, it will be more difficult for disabled children to get the support they need. We owe it to them to do better!
Morgan supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItAs a public school ESL teacher, I care very much about all of our students. Funding from the U.S. Department of Education is necessary for Title I Schools, English as a Second Language, and essential services for our students with special needs and IEPs. Please support our students through public education. Thank you!
Jennifer supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItAs a parent of 3 children labeled as special needs currently, removing or reallocating responsibilities of the dept of education is a travesty. The most vulnerable among us need our help and support. The Dept of Ed has a long trusted history of providing that support. If it goes away those kids won’t stand a chance. Please if you value the American people at all you would work to improve the already established dept of education instead of dismantling it and/or shifting it to HHS which will not know what it’s doing in these cases and make things worse.
If the dept of education gets removed we will all know that our leaders dont value eduction for low income students or special needs students. I don’t know if you’ve ever met special needs moms, but we fight for our kids. And we will keep the good fight going if we must. Because that’s what we do for our kids.
Jennifer supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItWe need this department, I was in special education and they help me overcome my disability. Please we need to protect this department.
Rachel supported: Save the Department of Education—Our Kids' Future Depends on ItKeep Education available to all kids. Dont make it about wealth. I believe all the children deserve the chance to thrive and learn and someday contribute to the world!
