466 federal jobs cut at the Department of Education — including nearly the entire staff enforcing IDEA. Students’ rights still stand, but without oversight, schools may get away with violating them. Protect communities. Demand accountability.

Our esteemed parent leader, Maribel Gardea, was arrested for simply speaking up for kids & families in San Antonio. Silencing parents is a direct attack on all of us. We demand her immediate release and a full accounting from both the school district & police department for this disgraceful suppression of parent voices.

We will not sit idly by while Black youth are targeted. #LoveBlackYouth
