In light of recent events in the U.S. Department of Education and actions that threaten the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the rights of more than 8 million children with disabilities, we invite you to join a grassroots virtual Town Hall for parents, teachers, and advocates for children with disabilities. 

Join us on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 4:00 PM ET for the joint town hall.

Speakers will share insights about recent events and discuss actions you can take. 

Together, we will use our collective voice to compel the Administration to protect children with disabilities and urge Congress to help protect IDEA, whose sole purpose is to ensure equitable access and opportunity to education for every child with a disability.
