“My name is _____ and I am calling to let the Senator know that I would like him/her to oppose the appointment of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education. DeVos has lobbied on behalf of for-profit schools, which consistently fail the students that they are supposed to serve. Even worse, she has yet to mention the $1.3 trillion student debt crisis impacting over 44 million Americans. Her attacks on public schools and support for privatized education disproportionately impacts people of color and LGBTQ students, meaning less equal opportunities for ALL students nationwide. I want my tax dollars to stay in my community to support my public schools and their students. Betsy DeVos is the wrong choice for parents and students. Betsy DeVos is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Education.”
Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski will vote “No” on Betsy DeVos. We need just one more Republican vote. The above link includes a call script and the numbers of Republican senators to call. Please call and signal boost.
