The Trump administration’s plan to gut federal support for public schools and give tax cuts to billionaires at the expense of loans for students to make college affordable and health care services for those who need it the most (including disabled children) sends a terrible, symbolic message.

It appears Musk has hacked into millions of Americans’ personal information and now has access to their taxes, Social Security, student debt and financial aid filings. Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency was not created by Congress—it is operating with zero transparency and in clear violation of federal law. This is outrageous, and it must be stopped. Click "start writing" below to Congress and the Trump administration to stop Musk from stealing our personal information.

During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to stand with working people and tackle the challenges they face. He vowed to make housing more affordable, lower grocery prices—especially for basic staples like eggs—and reduce the overall cost of living.

But since taking office, Trump has failed to deliver on these promises.

Department of Homeland Security’s rescission of the protected areas and sensitive locations memo allowing immigration enforcement actions in schools, college campuses, hospitals, and places of worship is causing concern among our members and broader community. Members of Congress—regardless of party—should urge President Trump to end this terrible anxiety and cruelty by reinstating the protection of schools, hospitals and churches against ICE.

The Trump administration froze all federal aid to communities then walked back their freeze for things like school breakfast and Medicaid because of the pushback from people like us. We need to remind everyone in Congress—Democrats and Republicans—that what happened is not OK. Not only is the new president violating the law by pausing funding that Congress already passed, he’s also hurting people in every corner of the country, including in red states.
