We have until March 1st to defend our freedom to learn. The Trump Administration is illegally threatening to take away funding from any school from pre-k to college unless they comply with their white supremacist agenda.

The MAGA regime issued an ultimatum giving schools 14 days to remove all recruitment programs, clubs, and scholarships for Black and brown students. 

Our schools must refuse to comply with these segregationist orders. But that will only happen if we, the people, demand it. Add your name to our petition calling on the presidents of colleges, school boards, and K-12 administrators across the country to stand with students' freedom and futures. 

MAGA's attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are a trojan horse to take away our civil rights – meaning this new authoritarian power grab is about ripping scholarships from Black students, closing the doors of first-generation programs, ending courses that tell the truth about racial, gender, and economic inequalities, and banning clubs, community centers, and student organizations for anyone other than wealthy, white men. 

The regime's order instructs schools to upend generations of policies passed to make education less discriminatory and more inclusive. Amongst other things, the administration's notice calls for:

• Revoking scholarships and financial aid from Black and brown students
• Stopping the recruitment of students from disadvantaged communities
• Closing campus cultural centers
• Dismantling Black Greek life and cultural housing on campus
• Ending culturally-responsive graduation ceremonies
• Ending race or nationality-based clubs, caucuses, and associations on campus
• Forbidding the elimination of standardized testing that historically benefits wealthy students

Just like the civil rights movement stood up to segregationists, now is our turn to fight back and get free. We must use every tool at our disposal to turn our campuses into freedom beacons where we are all free to learn, be our true selves, and speak truth to power. 

Add your name and demand the leaders of our schools commit to defend and deepen our freedoms.
