UNITE-LA is pleased to share that it has successfully garnered the support of nearly 30 leading business organizations throughout California in our appeal to state legislators, urging them to protect the U.S. Department of Education from proposed dismantling.

This united front highlights the collective commitment of the business community to sustain educational initiatives that are crucial for economic growth and workforce readiness. Our joint letter emphasizes the dire economic repercussions of dismantling the Department, which plays a vital role in ensuring our nation remains competitive on a global scale. As we continue our advocacy, this broad-based support will be crucial in helping us refine our strategies to engage more effectively with policymakers and focus on recommending solutions that uphold critical educational and workforce development programs.
