Public education should never become collateral damage in a political agenda.

The Trump Administration is attempting to cancel $810 million in congressionally approved funding, including money connected to education and programs serving communities across America. The Government Accountability Office has said this effort to withhold the funds violates federal budget law.

At the same time, the Administration has openly pursued reducing the federal role in education and ultimately closing the U.S. Department of Education.

Our children deserve investment, opportunity, and strong public schools not uncertainty over resources Congress already approved.

Public education is an investment in America’s future.

President Donald Trump is not permitted to withhold beyond the end of the fiscal year more than $800 million in spending approved by Congress.

The Kennedy Center is more than a building it is a national cultural institution created as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy and a home for the arts.

The continuing fight over adding President Donald Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center raises a much bigger question about legacy, public institutions, and who they are meant to serve. At a time when the Center is facing serious financial and structural challenges, its history and mission should remain at the center of the national conversation.

Social justice is also about protecting our history, our culture, and the public institutions entrusted to future generations. The legacy of the Kennedy Center belongs in that conversation. 🇺🇸

The president made the remark to reporters amidst back-and-forth developments in federal court, including an allegation that a forklift repeatedly struck the center.

Juneteenth is more than a celebration of freedom it is a reminder of the resilience, strength, and determination of those who fought for it.

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Their story reminds us that justice delayed is justice denied, and that the fight for equality requires constant vigilance and action.

As we honor our ancestors and celebrate Black excellence, culture, and achievement, we also recommit ourselves to building a future where freedom, opportunity, and justice are realities for every community.

At the Next Generation Action Network, we believe that honoring Juneteenth means continuing the work organizing, advocating, and empowering the next generation to create lasting change.

Happy Juneteenth.

✊🏾 People Power. Policy Power. Political Power.
