Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day. On average, Latina women earn only 54 cents for every $1 earned by a white man.

It is past time to end racial discrimination and occupational segregation in this country.

Every day that this government shutdown continues, people suffer.

Our lawmakers must end the shutdown by reaching a deal that is fair and just—without endangering the health care of working families.

Respect Students and Working Families. End the Shutdown. | NEA Congress must pass a bipartisan agreement that reopens the federal government and provides continuity for crucial services.

Educators on military bases working without pay. Critical food assistance for hungry students jeopardized. Health care hanging in the balance.

Students and families are hurting because Republicans in the White House and Congress have forced a government shutdown.

Tell them to end it, NOW ⬇️

As we move into LGBTQ+ History Month, I return again and again to educator wisdom—like this advice from ESL teacher Amber on the importance of inclusivity in the classroom 🌈 💜

October is #HigherEdMonth!

Every day, educators at colleges and universities broaden the horizons and shape the lives of students—their work is invaluable.

All Americans deserve a Congress that works for them. We deserve leaders who are focused on lifting up our communities, working to address the issues our nation faces, and ensuring every public-school student has the opportunity to thrive. Enough is enough.

As National School Attendance Awareness Month comes to an end, I know the challenge of keeping attendance up is not over for our educators—it continues all year.

And we know that students can only be present at school where they feel safe, welcome, and protected.

When lawmakers don't fully fund our schools, the burden gets put on educators.

And it's just wrong. https://bsky.app/profile/neatoday.bsky.social/post/3lzoia2qyfm2f

We have lost a dedicated leader in Al Llorens.

Even before his presidency at @ieanea.bsky.social, Al dedicated his life to improving students' lives and strengthening public education. His leadership was rooted in compassion, vision, and an unwavering belief in the power of education to transform.

It is past time for Republicans, who control both Congress and the White House, to sit down with Democrats and work out a common-sense agreement.

One that avoids a government shutdown AND protects health care for millions of working people and families.

Honored to join the @blackinfonet.bsky.social today to talk about all the crises facing education in this moment—SNAP cuts, educator intimidation, and more.

Thank you, Vanessa Tyler, for this essential conversation in this critical moment.

We grieve with the families of those lost in the tragic shooting at the Dallas ICE facility. Violence has no place in our schools, communities, or our democracy.

Let's reject the vitriol that divides us and build together a country where we can all live free from violence and fear.

The teacher pay penalty reached a record high in 2024: Three decades of leaving public school teachers behind Over the past three decades, stagnant weekly wages of public school teachers have fallen further and further behind those of college graduates who chose other careers, resulting in an ever increasing ...

In 2024, teachers earned 73 cents for every dollar their similarly educated peers made, on average. A record low.

In 1996, the gap was much smaller: 94 cents to the dollar. We can fix this—by investing in public education.

The full report from @epi.org lays bare the challenge—and the solution.

We will continue to fight for a country that provides high-quality public education, exemplary health care, living wages, and basic dignity and respect for everyone—no exceptions.

Neither political violence nor aggression and intimidation have a place in our country or democracy.

When threats and attacks target educators, they don't just endanger individuals—they undermine the foundation of public education and democracy.

Using mob tactics against educators is unacceptable.

Feed the babies. @neapresident.bsky.social reminded us: hungry kids can't learn, and that's not politics, that's reality. #AtOurTable

It was an honor to speak on a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute panel this week, to discuss student success and educational excellence in the current landscape.

Today is Constitution Day—a time to affirm the rights and liberties afforded to all of us in our founding documents.

Now is the time to protect our democracy, and continue to work towards liberty and justice for all.

I have always said it, and will continue to say it: public education is the foundation of democracy.

Thank you, @jaimeharrison.bsky.social, for this critically important discussion.

My conversation with @staceyabrams.com felt critically urgent, because it is—not a single student should go hungry because of cruel politicians. But that is our reality today.

Every year, I take a back-to-school tour to hear directly from educators and students and families across the country.

Without a doubt, the best part of my job is these moments in classrooms and communities.

Schools are the heart of every neighborhood.

On my back-to-school tour, I saw the best of this country: our public schools.

In CA, I toured a school food pantry. In IA, I joined educators to hand out books at the Labor Day Parade. In AZ, I visited a district resource center for families in need. Above all, I talked to educators & students.

A school should be the safest place in any community—instead, today the Evergreen High School community joins too many others in mourning.

The epidemic of gun violence in our country is intolerable. It is long past time for our lawmakers to take bold action to end it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie Kirk's family and the community at Utah Valley University. Gun violence is a devastating plague on our campuses and in our communities. We cannot accept this as normal. We must come together and work with urgency to end it once and for all.

Violence in all forms is wrong. Political violence is unacceptable—it endangers our democracy and inflames fear, trauma, and division.

Everyone deserves safety and security—period.

Every worker deserves a union. For MSU faculty, this win was years in the making—and now, with UTSF, they’ll have a strong voice for academic freedom, fair workloads, and the future of their students.

Welcome to the NEA union family.

We all want to live in a country defined by freedom and justice—not hatred and bias. But SCOTUS' decision allows rampant discrimination, letting the government seize people off the street based on how they look, their language or their job.

Anyone who believes in liberty cannot abide this ruling.
