This is an unprecedented move and it jeopardizes the safety and trust that schools represent for students and their families. Educators have a sacred responsibility to protect every child, no matter their immigration status. usatoday.com/story/news/educ…

Two students have been shot in their school cafeteria in Nashville—a space meant for learning and connection, not violence. We cannot accept this as normal. Our students deserve safety, not fear.
We must act to end gun violence.

To deliver better pay and respect for educators, safer schools, and smaller class sizes means coming together to elect candidates that share our values. @BenWikler has a proven record building and motivating a diverse coalition to vote. I am proud to support him for DNC Chair.

#ICYMI: The repeal of GPO and WEP is more than just a win—it’s a reminder of the strength educators and public employees have when we stand together.

NEA has long advocated for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, this news is very welcome. Many educators feel a deep connection to the children & educators of this region. We are hopeful an end to violence along w/ release of hostages will finally lead us toward lasting peace.
Marking an end to more than 15 months of deadly conflict, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal that includes the release of captives held by both parties.
Here are the details about how hostages are being released: abcnews.link/p6ykhy1

ALT Home is Here. EDUCATOR WEBINAR Thursday, January 16 at 7pm EST No matter our race, origin or background, most of us would do whatever it takes to make a better life for our families. We work, sacrifice, pack up everything and move to put food on the table, provide for our loved ones, or send our kids to good schools. But extreme politicians are proposing sweeping policy changes, including separating families, and blocking what our families need to thrive. We're onto them. Join us for this important webinar to prepare so our students and educators have the support to learn and thrive with safety and dignity. Learn what changes are being proposed in the Trump Administration, ways to prepare including Know Your Rights training, understanding current protections and how we can come together to safeguard our students' freedom to thrive.

Students may know #MLK for his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, but there's more to learn about the civil rights leader.
