Honoring the 2025 class of the National Teachers Hall of Fame + NEA’s ESP of the Year, Andy Markus of Utah! Since 2017, ESPs have rightly stood on this stage—because every school runs on their care, strength, and skill. NEA is proud. 🔗 nthf.org

Greg Abbott vetoed $60M for summer meals, denying $120 per child to 3.75M Texas kids. That’s $400M+ in aid tossed aside. This isn’t policy—it’s cruelty. Feeding kids shouldn’t be controversial. #AbbottVeto #NoChildHungry #CrueltyIsThePoint #TxLege texastribune.org/2025/06/23/tex…

TX Dreamers are under attack—again. As a proud National Immigration Law Center board member & NEA partner, I’m standing w/ the students who graduated from our schools & call TX home. This cruelty doesn’t reflect real TX values. Let’s do better—by electing better. #txlege 🔗 nilc.org/press/public-i…

Congrats to Ashlie Crosson of PA, a proud union member & English tchr, named 2025 National Teacher of the Year! Speaking to NEA RA delegates, she reminded us: 🗣️ “Advocating for students means advocating for ourselves.” ✊ “Protecting education is how we protect our democracy.”

Public schools are the ❤️ of every community—& educators its heartbeat. Kerville ISD staff drove buses to rescue kids from floods. Schools are more than classrooms—they’re crisis infrastructure. We must never stop investing in them. tpr.org/news/2025-07-0… #PublicSchools #TxEd

This land spoke Native languages long before English—and they’re trying to erase them again. No executive order will erase my parents’ language, culture, or proud history. Multilingualism isn’t a threat. It’s power, memory, and identity. It’s America. #WeAreAmerica

As a parent & educator, I won’t stay silent. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the Dept. of Ed—& the Supreme Court just backed him. Our kids deserve better. 📢 Read NEA’s response: nea.org/about-nea/medi… ✊ Stay informed: nea.org/protect #SavePublicEd #ProtectOurKids

🚨 $6.8B in education funding is being illegally withheld by the Trump administration. Congress must act NOW to protect students, teachers & adult learners. 📜 Article I gives Congress the power of the purse. Use it. 📲 TAKE ACTION: nea.org/advocating-for…

NEA’s Board has voted not to adopt a proposal to reject partnership with the ADL. We remain committed to fighting antisemitism, anti-Arab bigotry, and all forms of hate—guided by our values, members, and mission. 🔗 nea.org/about-nea/lead…
