A day of solidarity with THE BEST pro-labor, pro-education Governor in the country and our union brothers and sisters. In the words of Representative McGarvey “When we fight, we win!” We show up. We care. We fight. We vote. #ItsBetterInAUnion

Wow. Five descendants of Frederick Douglass read excerpts of his famous speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBe5...

It’s all about community.

This bill will remove healthcare for 17M people, slash food assistance for 22M, shutter hundreds of hospitals, defund higher education, cut jobs, target immigrant communities and explode the national debt—all for tax breaks to the ultra-rich. www.aft.org/press-releas...

AFT members have sounded the alarm for months: the Big Ugly Bill’s cuts will devastate our communities. As @ky120unitedaft.bsky.social’s Dennis Wheatley put it: “Cutting funding... doesn’t save money. It creates bigger problems.” aftvoices.org/schools-urge...

Our members are volunteering for @kftc-1981.bsky.social (Kentuckians For The Commonwealth) at Pride today. We are joining our allies and advocating for rights for all Kentuckians, sharing resources, having conversations, and registering voters. We care. We show up. We fight. We vote.

🔥 what side are you on? Collective bargaining could help students and teachers in Fayette County schools | Opinion www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-e... For more great content like this subscribe to the Lexington Herald Leader app here: www.kentucky.com/subscribe

OpEd: “When teachers are adequately supported and able to have a unified voice at the bargaining table to solve problems, students reap the benefits.”

Today’s executive orders make clear that despite their mantra of local control, the Trump Administration really does want to be in the business of education after all. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

This is retaliation against the unions and members (many of whom are veterans themselves) who are leading the fight against the administration’s illegal actions in court. We will not be silenced. We’ll be even louder. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

AFT member Hope Brown speaks to 3,000+ people in Lexington about DEI and collective bargaining. #ProtectOurKids #NoKings We care. We show up. We fight. We vote.

Y'all. The energy in Lexington was through the roof today and we are getting national notice. The organizers counted 3,000 people. Multiply that by 4 and we'll be at the magic 3.5% Help us get there? Next Lex march: May 1. Late afternoon. Stay tuned... #MayDayStrong #UnionStrong #BGAA #indivisible

Today—and every day—this president is focused on himself. Meanwhile, unions are consistently showing up to fight for economic opportunity for all families to have a better life. #HandsOff our Social Security, our public education, our healthcare, and our democracy. 🇺🇸

Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with my union brothers and sisters and other local activists to speak out against this administration. Our children deserve better. Our educators deserve better. Our communities deserve better. @ky120unitedaft.bsky.social #handsoffpubliceducation

They want us to be silent. But we won’t be. Because we know there’s no cavalry coming. We are the cavalry. And we’ll fight in the courts, in the streets and in our communities—because our kids, our jobs and our futures are worth fighting for. #HandsOff

Tell me what democracy looks like- THIS is what democracy looks like. Hands Off, Lexington Rally. We care. We show up. We act. We vote. We promise to continue to stand with our community. #ProtectOurKids #HandsOffOurDemocracy #HandsOff @aftunion.bsky.social

🚨 Hands off Unions! 🚨 This Saturday, we’re defending our right to unionize and fight for fair wages, benefits, and job security. Unions make us stronger! Join us: seiu.co/42c1Lzi #HANDSOFF

Kentucky friends, it’s time to take to the streets! HANDS OFF our public schools. #ProtectOurKids

“And that’s what the AFT’s 1.8 million members will continue to do: fight in the streets, in the courts and in Congress, to uphold both the law and the right of all workers to advocate for their collective interests and America’s future.”

Thank you @aftunion.bsky.social for fighting for us! ✊ www.forbes.com/sites/adammi...

Weingarten: We didn't vote for Elon Musk to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme. We didn’t vote for Howard Lutnick to say, oh don't worry, no elderly people, including my mother, would care if they don’t get their checks from Social Security.

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...
