I do know one thing: Educators, healthcare professionals and public employees will be doing everything they can to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve. And our guiding principle will be to continue to do the work to improve people’s lives: to fight for our

Yes!! Joe Biden announced the ratification of the ERA, enshrining the basic principle that men & women should be treated as equal under the law. It should have always been a foundational promise of our democracy, but it has taken generations of struggle to get us here

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital fed’l ed programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities.Β x.com/elonmusk/statu…

There is a war on knowledgeβ€”and teachers are on the frontlines. I wrote Why Fascists Fear Teachers to answer the question many educators & parents are asking right now: Why the relentless attacks on public schools and on educators? Pre-order it here: aft.org/book

There are multiple examples of vouchers being a disaster in states already!! Vouchers enable discrimination. Private schools can deny students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ youth & religious minoritiesβ€”with zero recourse. Public money shouldn't fund exclusion! #HandsOffPublicSchools

Everywhere I go, I hear from educators: recess time is inconsistentβ€”and often too short. Unstructured play helps kids grow, recharge, and focus. That’s why we’re NYSUT calling for a statewide study on what works best to support student well-being. timesunion.com/education/arti…

A few weeks ago St. Louis was hit by tornadoes. I'd been in contact with our local and have been working to help members who lost their homes. Today I saw the devastation in person. It's incredible to me that such a devastating disaster barely caught the national attention.

I spent the afternoon with higher education union leaders from across the country. We had an incredible panel on how to stop democracy from backsliding. We discussed how to build coalitions and what history shows about fighting fascism. #OrganizeFightWin
