Call your State Representative to express your opposition to Senate Bill 1/House Bill 6.

Tell your legislators and the members of the House and Senate Higher Education Committees to oppose SB 1 and HB 6 (The Higher Education Destruction Act).

Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency was not created by Congress—it is operating with zero transparency and in clear violation of federal law.

Members of Congress—regardless of party—should urge President Trump to end this terrible anxiety and cruelty by reinstating the protection of schools, hospitals and churches against ICE.
