The nation’s largest union stands shoulder to shoulder with every worker fighting for more than just getting by—because our collective fights are one struggle. We march today, organize tomorrow, and vote, because our power comes from workers uniting, organizing, and winning together.

A functioning government is the bare minimum. Working families deserve more than this short-term deal that Congress has finally passed. We deserve affordable groceries, accessible healthcare, and leaders who actually work for us.

Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education would hurt all students—especially those from lower-income families and students with disabilities—by cutting essential services, increasing class sizes, and slashing civil rights protections.

The Trump administration knows private school vouchers have failed in Congress and been rejected by voters, so they're using an executive order to push them through anyway—at the expense of 90% of students who attend public schools.
Graphic that reads: Trump signed an executive order to illegally funnel 
public school funds to private school vouchers.

Who benefits? Private schools that can pick and choose who they enroll.

Who loses? The 90% of students who attend public schools across America.Graphic that reads: This isn’t about choice—it’s about privatizing public education.
Trump’s executive order is straight from the Project 2025 playbook—a scheme to privatize education and defund public schools.

Less funding for Public schools.
Fewer resources for students with disabilities.
Public money handed to unaccountable private schools.Graphic that reads: When voters choose, vouchers lose.

Example: In 2024, every single one of Kentucky’s 120 counties voted down a measure to expand private school vouchers.

Why? Because communities know the truth—Public schools need more support, not less.Graphic that reads: We will not stand by while Trump and anti-public education politicians attack our students.

If you try to come for our students, our schools, and our communities—we will organize, we will mobilize, and we will fight back.
