This #AmericanEducationWeek, I was lucky enough to visit Barrett Elementary School to discuss something that affects too many: food insecurity.
Between the shutdown and the food assistance cuts in Trump's budget bill, students are going hungry—and no student can learn on an empty stomach.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we not only mourn the lives of our trans siblings and neighbors taken too soon, but also demand a cultural shift.

Bussing students to school, feeding them meals, furthering their education, keeping their classrooms clean—education cannot happen without the tireless effort of ESPs.

Shame on this administration.
Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures.
Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.
No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.

The very educators who dedicate their lives to serving military families are being forced to work without pay, and now the Trump administration is telling them they owe money to the government? This reflects a stunning level of chaos, confusion, and contempt.

Starving children and families to score political points is beyond cruel. It's vile and vindictive. The lives of 42 million Americans should not be used as bargaining chips. We will not stay silent while our students, families, and neighbors go hungry.
