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?
