We stand with students. And history reminds us that you should too.

🪧As students lead walkouts in defense of their neighbors, families & friends across Texas, these organizations that make up the Texas Legislative Education Equity Coalition (TLEEC) stand with them in support of their right to peacefully protest against the violent atrocities being committed by ICE.

💬From Fort Worth to Houston, San Antonio to El Paso, in cities and smaller towns, young people know their worth and have the freedom to express their voice.

✊The 1968 Chicano student walkouts in Edgewood ISD drew national attention to school funding inequities when 400 students walked out of their school to protest unfair funding, lack of appropriate resources and a shortage of qualified teachers. The walkouts led to court challenges to the state’s school finance system, which continues to shape and affect students’ educational opportunities today.

Check out all signed organizations and their commitment to working alongside and fighting for better future for all Texas students.

📚 Public education is under pressure — now more than ever.

From attempts to defund public schools to efforts that blur the lines between church and state, major policy changes are shaping the future of education in ways that could leave millions of students behind.

🧠 But knowledge is power.

When communities stay informed and raise their voices, we protect students’ rights and strengthen our public schools.

For over 20 years, the Texas Dream Act helped students pay in-state tuition—regardless of immigration status.

That’s changing. A new court order blocks in-state tuition for students who are “not lawfully present” starting Fall 2025. Sign up for the July 17 webinar to get updates, ask questions, and learn how to navigate these changes.
