Call your member of Congress now & tell them you support the HEROES Act!

Some school districts in Ohio are losing more than 10% of their state funding due to unfunded private school voucher deductions. For those districts, this budget shortfall means larger classes, older textbooks and technology, and fewer school counselors and nurses. Tell your legislators to protect public education in Ohio by capping the amount that school districts can lose to vouchers.

Under a new proposal, Trump’s Department of Agriculture would restrict a bipartisan provision called “broad-based categorical eligibility,” which gave states flexibility to ensure SNAP better serves their residents. This change would potentially end SNAP benefits for more than 3 million Americans—in particular, children, seniors and people with disabilities. We cannot let this happen.

In public schools across the United States, resources are scarce for special education and disability assistance, guidance counselors, mental health services, school nurses, librarians and teaching assistants. Congress can help. The Keeping Our Promise to America’s Children and Teachers Act (H.R. 2315 and S.1172) would create a 10-year “glide path” to fully fund both Title I and IDEA, allowing Congress to begin to repay the $55 billion average annual shortfall in these two programs that Congress has been underfunding for 40 years.
