Those who attack our schools want us to forget that public education is the foundation of an inclusive democracy, economy, and society.

But we know the importance of public education. And we will continue to fight to protect it.

Congratulations to our new—and maintaining!—National Board Certified Teachers 💜 And to all this year’s candidates, I see your effort and honor you striving!

Every one of us, whether native or newcomer, deserves the freedom to live, learn, and exist in peace—period.

I am disgusted by the recent racist remarks from the current administration.

Disability Rights and Inclusion | NEA NEA is committed to advancing awareness, advocacy, and action in support of the rights guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ...

Yesterday we marked the International Day of People with Disabilities—a call to advocate loudly and proudly for disability rights and inclusion.

If you need somewhere to start, @neatoday.bsky.social has resources on everything from recognizing your own bias to supporting students with ADHD ⬇️

Ensuring that all students can access the excellent education that they deserve is critical—thank you to everyone who works to make that possible for our students in special education. #NationalSpecialEducationDay

We must support and respect educators.
We must address higher education costs.
We must take action against gun violence.
We must end student debt once and for all.
We must fully fund our neighborhood public schools.

We must create an education system that works for all.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The landmark law transformed education—making schools more inclusive for students with disabilities. But IDEA has never been fully funded or implemented.

We have a duty to advocate for it, so all students can thrive.

Union-made Thanksgiving | AFL-CIO

As you do your Thanksgiving shopping this week, remember to buy union-made goods! #BetterInAUnion https://aflcio.org/union-thanksgiving

This week we will mark fifty years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Now is the time to strengthen and fully fund IDEA—not deprioritize and devalue our students with disabilities #IDEA50

You may not know it, but November is National Family Engagement Month—and parents and families are our best partners.

Students truly thrive when educators and families have shared trust, and collaborate to ensure student success.

Trump Administration Announces Steps to Dismantle Education Department

An insult to students and families—announced during American Education Week. Students need more support, not less.

American Education Week launches in Arlington with support for students hit by SNAP disruptions The National Education Association announced new support for students and families still recovering from recent SNAP benefit disruptions.

This #AmericanEducationWeek, I was lucky enough to visit Barrett Elementary School to discuss something that affects too many: food insecurity.

Between the shutdown and the food assistance cuts in Trump's budget bill, students are going hungry—and no student can learn on an empty stomach.

I had the privilege of visiting Barrett Elementary with @neatoday.bsky.social colleagues to kick off #AEW2025! A heartfelt thank you to the cafeteria workers who welcomed me onto lunch duty and to every education support professional who does the work behind the scenes so our students can thrive.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we not only mourn the lives of our trans siblings and neighbors taken too soon, but also demand a cultural shift.

Every person of every gender deserves safety, support, and love—period.

From paraprofessionals to bus drivers and beyond, Education Support Professionals deserve their day! #WeLoveOurESPs

Today is #ESPDay, a moment to pause and appreciate the education support professionals who quite literally keep schools running.

Bussing students to school, feeding them meals, furthering their education, keeping their classrooms clean—education cannot happen without the tireless effort of ESPs.

Shame on this administration.

Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures.

Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

Some CMS parents work to keep ‘envelope’ around schools with Border Patrol in NC At one school in east Charlotte, parents started a rotation for people to watch for immigration enforcement and Border Patrol activity.

Members of @wearencae.bsky.social should be proud of all they are doing to keep their students and families safe, while ICE spreads chaos in our communities.

Fear-mongering has no place in our schools.

Thank you, educators, for all you are and all you do. #AmericanEducationWeek

It is #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, and as always, we support and protect and celebrate our trans educators and students.

The world is a brighter place with you in it 💜 🏳️‍🌈

A functioning government is the bare minimum.

Working families deserve more than this short-term deal that Congress has finally passed. We deserve affordable groceries, accessible healthcare, and leaders who actually work for us.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who have sacrificed in service of our country.

The best thanks that we can give now is protecting and upholding our democracy.

Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.

No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.

Teachers working without pay in US military schools during shutdown received debt letters | CNN Politics Teachers in US military schools abroad who have been working without pay during the government shutdown received letters this week telling them they owed money to the government, CNN has learned.

The very educators who dedicate their lives to serving military families are being forced to work without pay, and now the Trump administration is telling them they owe money to the government? This reflects a stunning level of chaos, confusion, and contempt.

Starving children and families to score political points is beyond cruel. It's vile and vindictive. The lives of 42 million Americans should not be used as bargaining chips. We will not stay silent while our students, families, and neighbors go hungry.

Vance calls court order to fully fund SNAP ‘absurd ruling' Vice President Vance on Thursday pushed back on a federal court ruling that directed the Trump administration to make full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November, ar...

Despite federal court orders to use emergency funds to continue federal food assistance, this administration continues to put 42 million lives—children, seniors, families—at risk.

The chaos and uncertainty they are creating is cruel. It is shameful. It is dangerous.

Special education at a crossroads: What should the federal role be? Major moves by the Trump administration have some debating, and others defending, the federal oversight system that supports students with disabilities.

Every student deserves access to services that they need to learn and grow and succeed.

Anything less—like this administration dismantling and de-prioritizing special education—is an abandonment of our children.
