Defense Of Democracy Pledge to Protect Public Education
✅I promise to defend the right of all students to read, think, speak, and write freely, rejecting attempts to censor curricula and/or restrict access to age-appropriate books.
✅I promise to support robust, equitable funding for local public schools and libraries so that every child—regardless of background, identity, or zip code—receives a high-quality education.
✅I promise to stand against efforts to divert taxpayer dollars to un-vetted private interests, allowing public education to be fully accountable to the communities it serves.

“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength of the nation.”
— John F. Kennedy
