The New Presidential Administration’s First 50 Days

EdTrust-New York

Join EdTrust & Educators for Excellence to examine threats to educational equity after President Trump's first 50 days.

SUNY Global Center

With the national conversation highlighting the dangers of President Trump’s proposed education policies, it is critical to also recognize their specific impact on children and families in New York. From federal funding cuts to the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in schools and universities, such policies and actions threaten to exacerbate inequities faced by students from low-income backgrounds, as well as Black, Latinx, and Native American students, multilingual learners, students with disabilities, immigrant students, and others underserved by our education systems.As the Trump administration concludes its first 50 days, join leaders from education policy and advocacy organizations to examine threats to educational and racial equity posed by the administration's education policies — both nationally and right here in New York City and State.On March 18, from 4-5:30pm EST, at the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan, hear from education leaders Denise Forte, CEO of EdTrust, Evan Stone, CEO of Educators for Excellence, Arlen Benjamin-Gomez, executive director of EdTrust-New York, and Marielys Divanne, executive director of Educators for Excellence-New York. They will offer insights and outline what actions advocates can take in New York State to mitigate the consequences the administration’s policies will have on students, children, educators, and families.Together, EdTrust and Educators for Excellence offer unique positionality and expertise at federal and state levels, grounded in insights from students, educators, parents, and community-driven coalitions. Our combined expertise and forward-thinking approach position us to advocate in Albany, New York City, and Washington D.C. for policies that are intentional, actionable, and truly designed to support educators and students and improve outcomes — and fight against policies that are not.Join us to learn more about how we can take action to defend public education by staying informed, proactive, and ready to respond to the ongoing threats. Together, we can continue to advance a more just and equitable education system for all.
