❗Help stop drastic cuts to education

I need your help today [View as Webpage]( [National Education Association]( [EdAction]( {NAME}, I—and our students across the country—urgently need your help to stop extreme cuts to public schools. Just as parents and educators prepare to welcome students back to school, several Republicans in the House have proposed the deepest and most drastic cuts to education in history. Their bill passed a key subcommittee last week and could be on its way to the House floor soon. It’s unconscionable! [Please write your representatives in Congress right now and tell them you oppose horrific cuts to education.]( The House bill would: - Decimate funding by 80% for Title I schools, which help our most vulnerable students; - Wipe out as many as 220,000 educator jobs; - Block President Biden from enacting meaningful reforms to federal student debt programs; and - Completely eliminate federal funding for class size reduction, educator salaries, and the English Language Learner (ELL) program. If they’re passed, these proposed cuts will hurt our students, especially our most vulnerable, at a time when they need more attention and opportunities, not less. And, they will deepen educator shortages and increase class sizes. [If enough people make their voices heard, we can stop these cuts, preserve federal funding for our public schools, and give students the attention and opportunity they deserve.]( [TAKE ACTION ➤]( No matter where we’re from or what we believe, we all want all our students—every last one—to get the great education that they deserve. Let’s make sure our politicians know that we will make our voices heard. We will demand what our students need. And we will succeed.
