Kids need time to play, move, connect and just be kids. Glad to see @AmerAcadPeds reaffirm what educators have long known: recess isn’t extra — it’s essential to students’ mental health, physical health, social development and academic success.
We cannot test-and-screen-time our way to healthy childhoods. Protecting recess means protecting kids.

As we concluded another Teacher Appreciation yesterday, we want to take a moment and shout out all of our educators who are doing the work each day. In every corner of NY, our locals are helping strengthen schools and communities. Shout out to NY’s teachers – you’re all the best.

The shutdown will be our longest in history in 2 days.
While Trump holds lavish parties and golfs, working families are panicking over how to pay rent or tripled ACA premiums.
Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

Women with disabilities are paid only $0.56 for every dollar that a man without disabilities makes.
On #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay, America’s unions reaffirm our commitment to fair pay and a living wage for every worker—and a union contract is how we level the playing field!
ALT Centered over a dark green background, capitalized top header text reads “Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day 2025 October 23” in white and pale green letters. Below is a single dollar bill torn in half, representing how disabled women are paid just over half of what nondisabled men are paid per year.
