VICTORY! HB793/SB836 was defeated for the 2025 legislative session. This bill intended to deny undocumented students access to public education and provoke a legal challenge to Plyler v. Doe, denying K-12 public education to students nationwide. Today’s win is a victory for Tennessee and the entire country.
This win belongs to the people—and most importantly, our students. Because of the voices of educators, students, families, and advocates from across Tennessee and the country, together, we made this happen. EdTrust-Tennessee, alongside @tnimmigrant,@naacp (Tennessee), is thankful for the collective advocacy of our partners in Education for All - Tennessee and the thousands of Tennesseans who sent a message loud and clear: Education is for ALL children, no matter where they’re from.

Child poverty rate in 2020 before expanded Child Tax Credit: 16.1%
Child poverty rate in 2021 w/expanded CTC: 5.2%
Child poverty in 2022 after CTC expired: 12.4%
This is not only a bad policy choice. It is an indefensible moral choice made by Manchin, Sinema, and the GOP.
