COMMUNITY SCHOOLS! πŸ‘πŸ‘ @rweingarten nails it β€” kids can’t learn unless they feel safe, welcomed and like they belong. They can’t focus on learning when they’re hungry, coping with stress at home or don’t even have a home. That’s why community schools matter, connecting students and families with the supports and services they need so every child has the chance to thrive.

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. The tragedy killed 146 workers, shocking the nation and galvanizing the labor movement. Because of the event, many of the workplace safety and health protections workers enjoy today were codified into law.

It’s 6 p.m. Do you know where your Tier 6 reform is? That’s a question for Gov. Kathy Hochul and the legislators voting on the budget in the coming weeks. We’ve made it clear: Tier 6 reform is nonnegotiable for our members. Tag your state senator, assemblymember, Governor Hochul, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. Tell them to vote NO on any budget that doesn’t include meaningful Tier 6 reform. Workers across the state are united β€” and we expect the officials we elected to do the right thing. Like, comment and repost. Find your legislators’ tags: uft.org/statetags Not sure who represents you? Visit: mygovnyc.org Send an email now: uft.org/tier6email

Honored to be at the @GovKathyHochul Mansion celebrating Women’s History Month. To gather in a place shaped by history and see it filled with women who are leading, breaking barriers, and lifting others up is incredibly powerful. Moments like this remind us just how far we’ve come β€” and how much further we’re going. πŸ’œ @nysut
