Indivisible National has a call to action to STOP THE EDUCATION CAVE-IN. As quoted from them “The current administration wants to gut the Dept of Education and force colleges and universities (as well as k-12) to bend to its will, discriminating against trans students, wiping out research grants, and rewriting campus policy that harms all students. As concerned parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers, faculty, and alumni, we cannot allow this to happen. We must fight back, and we will.”
- Call to Action: Call your college or university’s leadership and tell them:
  - Do not enter into any deal with the Trump administration.
  - Do not enforce policies that discriminate against trans students.
  - Do not turn over internal records for political purposes.
  - Do not silence student dissent under the guise of ‘neutrality.’
