Take Action
Education isn’t just a local issue. Every child in America deserves a fair chance, no matter their zip code, race, ability, or background. That’s what the Department of Education helps protect. We must not let it be erased.
Tell Congress to support the Child Care for Working Families Act
SIGN our letter now to Congressional Republicans telling them that we are outraged by their “yes” vote on the Big Bad Betrayal Bill – and will continue to speak out against the policies they are pushing.
It’s impossible to afford even the basic necessities on the current minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Workers and their families deserve more, they deserve a long-overdue raise.
