See you there!

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

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

Join us in Lexington, KY on Saturday, April 5th. Hands off our public schools!

“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.”

@ky120unitedaft.bsky.social Special Education Paraeducator Dan Isenstein is right! "As far as the impact of proposed federal budget cuts on our kids, defunding won't 'make America great again.' It will just take us back to a time when we were indifferent and cruel toward kids with special needs."

Trump’s attacks on education are the epitome of taking opportunity away from Americans. He’s making it harder to get an education and also going after workers’ social security and job stability. Listen to my full interview with @meidastouch.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Stand with Ukraine.
