NEW: @rweingarten.bsky.social issues statement on the murder of Renee Nicole Good and incidents involving ICE agents threatening educators and students in Minnesota: "ICE must leave our schools and communities immediately—they are making us less, not more, safe." www.aft.org/press-releas...

Schools must be places of safety — not fear. We stand with Education Minnesota demanding ICE stay out of our schools. Every child deserves dignity, stability, and the freedom to learn.

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

Hopkins Education Association supporting @educationmn.bsky.social colleagues across the state who are still fighting to settle for a fair contract! As union educators, we understand that education is a right, regardless of immigration status.

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.

We are stronger together! The Minnesota AFL-CIO staff are in solidarity today with all the @educationmn.bsky.social Locals still fighting for a fair contract. #UnitedWeWin #NewYearNoContract

ICE is terrorizing kids and communities who don't want them there! Why can't this administration focus on working with people to help everyone instead of creating fear, violence and death? bsky.app/profile/educ...

We must end ICE's presence in every community across this country before any further harm is done.

Our schools and communities should be places of learning and belonging, safe for all. The presence of ICE undermines this mission. We need an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation into this shooting. And we must end ICE's presence in every community before further harm is done.

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...

Today we filed a lawsuit against the Dept of Ed's abrupt & unlawful decision to stop millions of $$ in funding 4 Full-Service Community Schools in the middle of approved, multi-year projects-projects that give students tutoring and after school & health care at school. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Don't deprofessionalize our jobs! The Trump administration’s new proposal to reclassify professional degree programs for educators, social workers, nurses & other health care staff will only make it harder to pursue these essential careers. TAKE ACTION 👇

Health insurance premiums for Anoka-Hennepin educators rose 22% this spring. In other districts, it's even worse. This is unsustainable. Tell legislators to create a statewide insurance pool for school staff: edmn.me/3R1sf1d #mnleg #edmnvotes

No one should have to make the decision between a paycheck and taking their child to the doctor. With paid family leave, Minnesotans won’t have to.

Anoka-Hennepin educators have voted overwhelmingly to strike for a fair contract that delivers the wages and healthcare benefits they deserve. No one wants a strike. I hope the school board comes to an agreement that puts the needs of schools and students first. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

There are currently no mediation sessions scheduled between the district and union. And if no new contract is agreed upon, the teachers union says it will strike starting Jan. 8.

Solidarity is a verb 📣📣  Tonight, the Anoka-Hennepin community showed up to tell the district it’s time to invest in the schools students deserve. TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/494K0Fw #AHEMStrong #UnitedWeWin

On Saturday, the union representing more than 3,000 educators in the district authorized the strike. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/anoka-hennepin-school-district-educators-vote-overwhelmingly-to-authorize-strike

Ready to do what it takes to get the contract we deserve. Fighting for ourselves, but also for the future of the biggest district in the state. We're still feeling the negative effects of a pay freeze over a decade ago. Not willing to go backwards again.

Anoka-Hennepin educators have spoken! More than 98% of members voted to authorize a strike if necessary. No one wants to strike. This vote is about making sure the district takes seriously the need to reach a fair contract that supports educators, stabilizes schools & puts students first!

Enjoy winter break and stay safe. See you in 2026!

On Jan. 8, educators across Minnesota are standing together in solidarity w/local unions still fighting for a fair contract. We know we are stronger together and that #UnitedWeWin!

I support Anoka-Hennepin Teachers. #payteacherswhattheydeserve

Educators in the state’s largest school district began strike authorization voting today. Solidarity with Anoka Hennepin Education Minnesota members fighting for fair wages and affordable health insurance. Healthy educators = healthy schools! #UnitedWeWin

After months of negotiations and 170+ days working without a contract, Anoka Hennepin Education Minnesota (AHEM) union members are voting on whether to authorize a strike. ✊ AHEM educators are voting from December 17 to 20 throughout the district and results will be announced by AHEM on December 20.

💥 A strike could begin as soon as January 2026. 👉 But there’s time to avoid a strike! District leaders could choose to reach a fair and reasonable contract honoring educators on the frontline of our communities — a contract including livable wages AND healthcare. 🗣 Healthy teachers, healthy schools!

Congrats to Meg Lugar Nikolai and Shelley Buck on primary victories tonight. Strong wins are testament to the hard work you and your teams are doing. Thank you to every candidate in the field. Excited to hit the doors with you both before the January general and to serve our neighbors together.💙

If union members vote to authorize a strike, the earliest a strike could take place is January.

We are heartbroken for the students, staff & community at Brown University, and are thinking of those who were hurt and killed tonight. We are in touch with our locals at the university & encourage people to listen to local law enforcement for more info. Please stay safe. #EndGunViolence

It's Computer Science Education Week in Minnesota! Shoutout to all of the educators working with students big and small to develop these critical skills.

Second jobs. Skipping needed medical care. Even qualifying for public assistance. Hourly school workers like the ESPs in United South Central deserve more than a 33 cent raise. They deserve more than $16.70/hour. Solidarity to these critical professionals fighting for a fair contract. Stay strong!!

Lakeville educators braved (another) snowstorm to rally and deliver a holiday gift to their school board last night -- powerful messages from staff about how prolonged contract negotiations are affecting their work and their students. Fair contract now! #UnitedWeWin

Spread some solidarity this holiday season! Make sure your gifts are union-made 🎁
