The message:

The Trump administration is jeopardizing education for millions of students by gutting the Department of Education as it closed key offices and fired half of its workforce.

President Trump has promised to dismantle the Department of Education and harm students and parents across the country – and he effectively just did it. The Department of Education has an enormous effect on the day-to-day lives of students across the country. They are tasked with protecting civil rights on campus and ensuring that every student – regardless of where they live, their family's income, or their race, sex, gender identity, or disability – has equal access to education. We must demand that our members of Congress take action and stop Donald Trump from harming students and parents by dismantling the Department of Education: Send your message today.

Subject:

Save the Department of Education

Body:

As your constituent, I urge you to stop Donald Trump from harming students and parents by dismantling the Department of Education. By closing key offices and conducting mass layoffs, President Trump is trying to bypass Congress by effectively gutting programs enacted by Congress to protect students' education and civil liberties. You cannot let President Trump overstep his power or threaten crucial protections for students and their parents.

We can't afford to let the Trump administration gut the Department of Education. This is an overreach by the executive branch, and the impacts will be felt by nearly every child and parent unless Congress acts now to protect our students and the civil servants who fight for them.

Thank you,
