Erica, from the Northfield Education Association, will be speaking TODAY, May Day. Join us Bridge Square.

This May Day, we stand shoulder to shoulder with workers everywhere—because every classroom, every job site, every community thrives when labor is respected, protected, and valued. @educationmn.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social

Attending Health Care Day of Action at the capitol. Thank you to @pursell4mnhouse.bsky.social for meeting with us and being a co-author of EGIP bill (Educator Group Insurance Plan) @educationmn.bsky.social

Skyrocketing insurance costs are bankrupting school districts & educators alike. Teacher Joey Mathews testifies in support of legislation requiring districts to report these costs annually. We need clear data to inform possible solutions like a statewide insurance pool for all school staff. #mnleg

On Fridays we wear blue to stand in solidarity with our Minnesota siblings and make ourselves visible to let our community know where we stand. @educationmn.bsky.social

YESSS @amyklobuchar.com! Minnesota educators deserve a living wage, affordable health care and a fair, flexible pension that helps them retire with dignity after years of public service in the classroom. #mnleg #edmnvotes

Loving all the blue we’re seeing from folks here in Minnesota and across the country today! Keep the solidarity coming! Every child deserves to attend a safe, welcoming public school, but that cannot happen with ICE agents circling school buildings and bus stops #ICEOutSchools 💙

ICE unlawfully detained one of our members and used pepper spray on high school students shortly after shooting and killing a Minneapolis woman yesterday. We demand they stay away from our schools. Immediately.

Stronger together. 💪Investing in educators = investing in students #UnitedWeWin #NewYearNoContract @educationmn.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social @aft.org

Stronger together. 💪Northfield teachers stand in solidarity with Farmington, Lakeville, Prior Lake Savage and all EdMN locals for a fair contract. Investing in educators = investing in students #UnitedWeWin #NewYearNoContract @educationmn.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social @rweingarten.bsky.social

Big news! Anoka-Hennepin Education Minnesota has reached a tentative agreement to avoid a strike. The collective action of members, families and community supporters made this possible ✊ @educationmn.bsky.social www.startribune.com/anoka-hennep...

Enjoying parade prep! The NEA Teacher (Deb Seitz) and EA (Teri Quamme) of the Year with their driver former NEA President (Kevin Dahle.) #chooseunion #educatorsrock #defeatofjessejames

Another week 1 is done! Way to go Northfield teachers and staff!

Labor unions help raise wages and standards for all workers. When unions are strong, every worker does better. #StrengthInUnity @aft.org @ctaflcio.bsky.social @aflcio.org

We were honored to be among the guests for today's ceremonial signing of the 2025 pension bill! "This is a big day," President Denise Specht told attendees. "Pension reform is a huge victory for teachers and everyone who cares about public schools in our state." #mnleg #edmnvotes

BREAKING: Historic teacher pension improvements pass the House and head to Gov. Tim Walz for his signature!! A stronger pension is an investment in our state's education workforce that will improve teacher recruitment and retention for years to come. 💪 #mnleg #edmnvotes

SESSION DAILY: Lawmakers pass bill boosting pensions for Minnesota teachers, police and firefighters #mnleg

President Denise Specht: We are here with one simple message for those who celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week: It’s nice to be seen, but words are not enough! Celebrate teachers less, care for them a whole lot more!! #mnleg #edmnvotes

They want us divided and distracted. We choose to be organized and bold. Happy May Day! ✊ #MayDayStrong

Wear read Northfield! Let’s support workers across the country and around the world on May Day.

PENSIONS WEEK OF ACTION DAY 3: Time to flood the Senate phones with career rule calls! Our collective voice cannot be ignored, CALL NOW: edmn.me/senateCTA #mnleg #edmnvotes

Northfield joined the Pension Day of Action #mnleg

Minnesota said Hands Off! to the Trump administration.

“Our members’ right to retire with dignity and grace after decades of service to families and communities is paramount.” - @rweingarten.bsky.social

Susan Crawford’s win keeps the court under a 4-3 liberal majority, as it has been since 2023.

Today is #EqualPayDay. Women still earn just 75¢ for every $1 paid to men—meaning they must work 3 extra months to match men’s earnings from last year. Unions have helped close the gender pay gap. See how 10 Wisconsin educators won a $450k settlement with support from their union. bit.ly/3FDCKVX

…and signals that our democracy is at risk. Do not obey in advance. #protectourkids #protectdemocracy

Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a critical lifeline for teachers, nurses, first responders, & millions of public service workers across the country. Trump's decision to eliminate income-driven repayment plans leaves borrowers unable to access PSLF. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

What is the value of special education? @ky120unitedaft.bsky.social member & paraeducator Dan Isenstein answers that perfectly: "At its most basic, special education creates opportunities for all." Read more from Dan here. #ProtectOurKids aftvoices.org/why-fund-the...

Public schools are the heart of our communities. That is why today, educators, parents, students, and more are rallying to defend our public schools from the people in power who want to destroy public education. Join us: sign the pledge to #ProtectOurKids.

🚨Millions of students rely on federal education funding for special education, school meals & classroom resources. Minnesota educators refuse to let reckless cuts for billionaire tax breaks take that away. We’re standing up for kids on this March 4 Day of Action! #ProtectOurKids

Public schools should be strengthened, not attacked. We joined the right on March 4 to demand lawmakers stand with kids #ProtectOurKids @educationmn.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social

March is #WomensHistoryMonth! Since the Industrial Revolution, women have played a critical role in the labor movement and continue to do so today. Classroom resources: edmn.me/4bamO9s

Linda McMahon made it through her confirmation to become Secretary of Education, but we are just getting started. We—educators, parents, families, students—will not let her dismantle the department and decimate public education without a fight.

Show your support for public education. Wear your school attire or other teacher guide - March 4th Protect Our Kids!
