Oregonians Will Protect Our Public Schools & Students
What's At Stake
Public schools and the U.S. Department of Education exist because all students, with and without disabilities, in every neighborhood, have the right to an education that imparts academic lessons, life skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy. Unfortunately, some politicians seek to dramatically slash funding that
helps reduce class sizes, feed hungry students, provide special education services, and lower the cost of college and vocational schools. While the loss of funding would impact all students, students and their families with lower incomes or from historically marginalized communities would be hit the hardest.
This is why we are coming together to protect equitable educational opportunities and access to critical resources for schools, students, and educators. We will be heard from the school board to the Senate to protect and strengthen public schools for our students, families, and ourselves.
Use our resources to learn more about the issues impacting schools, students, and teachers and support staff and actions you can take to protect public education.

U.S. Department of Education
The U.S. Department of Education was founded to help realize the promise of a quality public school for every student no matter where they live, the color of their skin, or how much their family makes.
Proposals to eliminate or defund it will force our students and public schools to pay the cost.
