"Mayday" is the universal call for help, rooted in the French word "m'aider."
This May Day, educators across Arkansas are raising that call and answering it together.
When we stand side by side, we are doing more than asking for support; we're building it.
Join us May 2
🚨 THRILLED to announce that the Arkansas Committee for Children and Public Education—the political action committee of the Arkansas Education Association—has officially awarded our campaign the recommendation of the @ArkEducation for the 2026 election cycle.
Translation: Arkansas educators are standing with us. Because they know who will fight for fully funded schools, respect for teachers, and a future where every child gets a fair shot.
This isn’t just a nod. It’s a mandate. The people in the classrooms know what’s at stake. And they’re choosing leadership over lip service.
Let’s go. 🍎✊

I had the opportunity to speak to the hard-working educators of @ArkEducation. Educators are on the front-lines of building a better future for our state and country. I'm running for congress because I want to represent these folks who have felt unheard for far too long.
"Politically, here in Arkansas, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to devalue our profession and undermine public education and higher education, the very cornerstone of our democracy."

Charles Kuck, Kuck Baxter in Atlanta, has filed a temporary restraining order for international students who've had visas terminated. Affected students nationwide can email ckuck@immigration.net or Danielle Claffey dclaffey@immigration.net about the TRO - @ArkEducation@NEAToday
"History Prof Michael Pierce says a big concern for the @UArkansas students in question is they're not being told exactly what it is they did wrong. He says the students also aren't being given a chance to formally respond."
Report by @4029Chip4029tv.com/article/universit…
"The union condemned the visa terminations "in the strongest possible terms" and argued the actions violate due process rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution." 5newsonline.com/article/news…
Complete disregard to the literal thousands of voices of all the Arkansans who weighed in on what indicators they wanted our schools to be graded on back when ESSA was bringing implemented.
30 people weighed in on this. 30. SMH

Members! If you suffer property damage, please send President Reisma a message at areisma@aeanea.org. We will coordinate monetary assistance to those affected, but we need to know about what we are facing before we can allocate.
