Urges California's Members of Congress to reject any proposal to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education or strip it of its core functions

Calls on the President of the United States to preserve, protect, and strengthen the U.S. Department of Education and its mission to serve all students

Responds to Executive Order No. 14242, signed by President Trump on March 20, 2025, directing the Secretary of Education to facilitate closure of the department
