Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government?
WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.
We know Project 2025 is bad (like, really bad). Let’s talk specifically about how it threatens quality education and our future generations nationwide. Thread 🧵
We’ve got BIG plans for 2024! And even small donation can make a HUGE difference in these close races.

We started this project less than 100 days ago w/ $0 but determined to fight back against far-right extremists on school boards. Since launching we recruited 100+ volunteer coaches & subject matter experts to support progressive candidates. AND WE WON 37 races across 6 states!
We saw candidates who stepped up from communities, experiences, and backgrounds of all kinds. Parents, educators, young people, and more who saw an urgent need. They took on the hard job of running for office - and we’re so proud of them. Win or lose.
SBP was founded as a way to bring together the skills, insight, and support of seasoned campaign professionals with a shared vision of a just education. The people who came to us as coaches and volunteers showed us what that vision can look like.
School board races have immediate consequences on students - and a lasting impact on our political landscape. These races have made it clear what we’re up against, and are setting the tone for future federal and state elections.
37 of our School Board Project endorsed candidates won their races across six states, including battlegrounds like Ohio, NC, PA, & Virginia. That's nearly 60% of the total candidates we worked with this cycle!
Here at @schoolboardproj, we’re just getting started. Follow us to stay up to date on the races we’ll be focusing on in 2024 & beyond. Our future generations deserve to grow up in a just and safe society - starting in their schools.
Tuesday's victories inspire us - but we can’t be complacent. Progressives must invest in school board races both as a way to build a safer and more equitable education system- as well as invest in meaningful local leadership.
Tuesday Night made one thing clear: People want school board candidates who lead with their values and prioritize students - not ones who are bringing right-wing extremism to our children and schools 🧵
ELECTION RESULTS! Over 30 School Board Candidates were elected nationwide last night in key states including Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. We’re so grateful for the candidates, coaches & volunteers who stepped up to fight for a better education and future for children.
