MTEA will host a press conference today to announce donations to Hunger Task Force from various MKE community orgs. The collective effort is a show of support for MPS students, families & our neighbors who depend on federal SNAP benefits to feed themselves & their families...

WI lawmakers have heartlessly cut public school funding for more than a decade, forcing communities to go to referenda. Students deserve the best public schools no matter their zip code. We won’t accept another budget that starves students of the resources they deserve www.surveymonkey.com/r/BDPGJN5

MPS workers are holding walk-ins across the city before school day for International Workers Day to remind all that labor rights and immigrant rights are intertwined. Immigrant workers are the backbone of key industries—yet they face disproportionate exploitation, wage theft, & unsafe conditions.

It was great seeing so many members and public education supporters on MKE's highway overpasses for today's 50501 - 50 States, 50 Protests, 1 Day. The Highway Overpass Demonstration & Clean Up took place on 15 different overpasses across the city in response to Trump's dismantling of our Democracy.

What a good-looking group of union education workers for last night's MTEA Milwaukee Bucks Night.

Youth Empowered in the Struggle (YES) students have made the following May Day demands:

° Protect Students' Right and Our Free Speech
° Inform MPS Students of the Student Bill of Rights
° Defend Our Right to Speak Out On Palestine
° Keep ICE and Police Out of Our Classrooms
° School Lunch Justice

We are calling on MPS union ed. workers to consider making arrangements to join this year's May Day activities, including a Central Office picket at 8:15am.

A huge thanks to Milwaukee Tool for donating nearly $60,000 worth of new equipment and tools to seven MKE Public Schools technical & career education programs, as well as theater tech & arts stage crew programs. Our union played a pivotal role in helping facilitate this generous donation.

The Milwaukee Hands Off rally is massive. People are standing up to Trump and unelected billionaires trying to steal our democracy. #handsoff

Attorney General Josh Kaul vows legal action to stop Elon Musk payments to Wisconsin voters Kaul says he will take legal action against Elon Musk over the Trump ally's plans to award $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters.

Candidates should be considered on the strength of their ideas, not on the size of their bribes.

"Based on our understanding of applicable Wisconsin law, we intend to take legal action today to seek a court order to stop this from happening.”

MTEA is proud to endorse Alex Brower, the president of MSTA, our Sub Teacher unit, in the special election for MKE Common Council District 3. Alex is a proven public ed. champion who will work to stop the City from opening new private charter schools and will use his position to advocate for MPS.
