"My job is to transport preK-12 kids to school and back home. But I’ve come to see that I have a bigger impact than that: I get to have influence on these kids’ lives."

During a virtual town hall, AFT President @rweingarten.bsky.social called on member of the union and activists in our communities to join together on March 4th to show that "our kids matter and that we're the ones fighting for them." Learn more about our Day of Action: www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids

“In an ideal world, I would be fighting to expand support for my science instead of fighting to keep it afloat … The work done in Philadelphia’s institutions doesn’t just lead the world in innovation—it saves lives.”

Congress is about to make a choice: protect school meals or have more kids go hungry. We are proud to join @fracposts.bsky.social and over 40 groups to tell Congress to oppose any cuts to the school meal programs—the time is now to #ProtectOurKids. frac.org/wp-content/u...

This day of action is part of our newly launched nationwide campaign, “Protect Our Kids,” mounted in response to the Trump administration’s threat to cut the Department of Education and the funds that go with it. Join us on March 4 and stand up to protect our kids: www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids

@rweingarten.bsky.social gathered AFT leaders and national organizers in a virtual town hall Feb. 19 to deliver an urgent call to action: On March 4, stand up for our schools. Fight for our communities. Protect our kids.

On Feb. 12, a bundled-up group of educators, activists, labor leaders and elected officials braved freezing rain on the snow-covered lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to demand that lawmakers protect our schools, our kids and our teachers. The refrain? Get Elon Musk out of our business!

President Donald Trump said on the campaign trail that he wants to end the Department of Education and return teaching “to the states.” And now that he’s in office, he’s making good on that promise. Hear more from @rweingarten.bsky.social on what this means for kids.

As Trump and Musk swing a wrecking ball at the Dept of Ed, I’m wondering if it’s a lack of understanding of the department’s vital functions, or because tax cuts for the wealthy is more important to them than building our future, or because they simply don’t care www.aft.org/column/prote...

Trump promised to stand with working people. But since taking office, Trump has failed to deliver on these promises. Instead: Job creation has slowed. Inflation has surged to 3 percent. Key consumer protections are under attack. www.aft.org/trumps-broke...

Watching Americans organically take action against Musk. He’s hurting people- invading their privacy, cutting funds/grants they rely on, smearing & firing people who work at agencies investigating his actions. This is a reaction to Musk’s abuse of power. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

"We should not be fearful of the next generation. We should give them the support they need." Watch & share: @rweingarten.bsky.social joins the Reverend Al Sharpton on MSNBC to talk about Trump's attacks on the Department of Education.
