Education

Project 2025 threatens public schools, food for students, college admissions, etc etc.

Step 1: Learn


What is at risk

  • Department of Education (states would have to pay for all their schools)

  • Free school lunch programs

  • Head Start program (free early childhood education, health and nutrition services to low income kids+families)

  • Financial aid for college

  • Colleges could discriminate by ethnicity+sex

  • Tax payer money could go to private, religious schools

  • Prevent CDC from advising school children on health issues (masking, vaccinations, etc)

  • Title I funding ($ for teachers, counseling, supporting parent involvement, pre-K enrollment, etc)

Step 2: Plan


Personal

Think about how the proposed changes would impact yourself, your partner(s) and kid(s). Could you live with the implications? How will you fill the gap? Is there something you can do today to help prep, or something you can plan to do later in response to specific changes passing?

Some examples are:

  • Finding + saving online resources for education locally to preserve information

  • Fill gaps in education with books/tutoring, especially if a kid in your immediate family unit needs extra support in a subject


Pod

Pods are your close knit communities. Here’s more information about pods. Identifying who is in your pod is important to figure out how you can best help. Remember the ripple effect is powerful, helping keep your close ones afloat will help others as well. If someone in your pod is impacted by proposed changes, how can you help support them either now or in the future?

Some examples are:


Community

Community in the broad sense - your friends, neighbors, internet comrades, etc. Consider the places and ways you feel connected with the broader group and bring support. If your community is impacted by a proposed change, what can you offer to help?

Some examples are:

What examples can you think of that aren’t listed here? What resources did you use to help research?
