From SPAN Parent Advocacy Network, Inc....

The U.S. Department of Education recently announced plans to sign away some of its most important responsibilities. They plan to move the office that oversees special education and vocational rehabilitation (OSERS) to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and move student civil rights protections (OCR) to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

☎️ Join us for a National Call-In Day TODAY to ask Congress to intervene.

How to take action:

☎️ Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask to be connected to your U.S. Representative and both of your Senators.

📣 What to say:

"Hi, my name is [Name] and I am a constituent from [City, State]. I am calling to ask [Members of Congress] to keep special education and civil rights programs at the Education Department. We need to keep these vital protections under one roof so students with disabilities are protected."

Please take five minutes to make your calls today and share this post with your network.

We are urgently in need of volunteers to help support our Rise Pantry team on Mondays, especially on those days where we have extended hours to make up for things like holidays and weather delays. If you are able, please consider signing up at njrise.galaxydigital.com and choose the time slot that works best for you! No experience needed, we provide an orientation at the beginning of every shift. The Rise Pantry is also an excellent place for corporate groups to come and volunteer their time! If you have questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you, as always, for your continued support!
