Protect Our Kids: Understanding the Impact of Education Funding Cuts

Join us to learn about proposed changes to federal education funding and what they could mean for students, educators, and communities.

The current proposal to significantly reduce the U.S. Department of Education’s budget could have far-reaching effects, including:

  • Reduced access to essential educational services for 26 million students.
  • Fewer resources for students with disabilities, impacting 7.5 million learners.
  • Cuts to Pell Grants and student loans, making college less accessible for 10 million working-class families.
  • Loss of career and technical education funding, affecting 12 million students preparing for the workforce.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what these proposed changes could mean for schools and families and discuss ways to support students and educators. You'll gain insights on:

  • How school communities might be impacted by shifts in federal funding.
  • Ways to engage with policymakers to share concerns about education funding.
  • Resources and strategies to advocate for strong public schools.

We’ll also discuss how to share what you’ve learned at the local and state levels, collaborate with parents and community members, and take part in efforts leading up to the March 4 Protect Our Kids Day of Action.

Register now to stay informed, hear from education experts, and learn how to help ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
