The Trump Admin. Says It Supports Career-Tech. Ed. It Canceled CTE Grants Anyway Nineteen projects—many in rural areas—lost funding that was helping students prepare for college and careers.

If the Trump administration claims to care about career and technical education, why are they cutting grants? We need to invest in relevant, engaging educational opportunities for students. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

These servicemembers lost their lives while serving their country. We disagree with the president’s war on Iran–and I am praying for peace.

The administration's rule targeting qualified immigrant drivers unjustly strips these workers of their livelihoods and worsens driver staffing shortages. We're taking legal action to protect our members and stop this discriminatory rule.

YouTube video by AFT When ICE Detained a Student, His Community Stood Up

Last year, AFT highlighted the incredible courage and determination of the ELLIS Prep Academy community to bring Dylan Lopez Contreras home to his family and friends.

ICE has detained this high schooler for 10 months. Here’s what he and his classmates want you to know Dylan Lopez Contreras, a student at Ellis Prep academy, was taken by ICE in May. The Guardian invited him and five of his classmates to share their lives and dreams

Students should be able to learn without fear that they could be the next one in their classroom to be taken by masked agents.

PizzaGate was not a real thing, but Epstein is

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly.

Women have always led the fight for opportunity and justice. As #WomensHistoryMonth begins, I’m inspired by the educators, healthcare workers and public employees who continue that legacy every day.

Sheryl Lee Ralph Is Teaching by Example The Emmy–winning, Tony–nominated actor has channeled joy into captivating audiences for decades

I love what actress Sheryl Lee Ralph said about educators. It’s what I see in every classroom I visit: “It is the heart of a human being that spends six to eight hours with other people’s children … and still chooses to come back to work with love, ready to begin again.” time.com/collections/...

Opinion | War and Peace Cannot Be Left to One Man — Especially Not This Man

The Iranian regime has been repressive & we oppose it. But it’s clear this is a war of choice carried out without Congess. We oppose this war & ask Congress to pass the Massie-Khanna war powers resolution. Meanwhile we pray tor our armed forces & all in harm’s way. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/o...

Our Overseas Federation of Teachers members are among millions who are living in fear of what may come next. We pray for peace and demand that all people be able to exercise their fundamental rights to live in safety and security and to speak freely for their democratic right to self-determination

The irony should not be lost on anyone that Trump ran as a candidate against Forever Wars and as president said that he had taken care of Iran’s nuclear arsenal with previous military action (after backing out of Obama’s widely-praised Iran nuclear deal), so what are the American people to believe?

Why now? Donald Trump’s shifting arguments for striking Iran President has provided flurry of explanations for US and Israeli attack that shattered negotiations with Tehran

The President had an opportunity to directly speak to Congress and the American people at the State of the Union, but he is instead pursuing reckless foreign policy with no accountability. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

As to today’s war with Iran, the Constitution is not a suggestion, it is the foundation of our country. Yet the president has repeatedly bypassed Congress to unconstitutionally engage in acts of war, including today. That is wrong.

For years, the AFT has stood with Iranians who have suffered the Khomeini regime in Iran—indeed last week our executive council resolved to stand in solidarity with our fellow unionists and the Iranian people while opposing US military intervention www.aft.org/sites/defaul...

J Street Statement Opposing War With Iran - J Street We are appalled by President Trump’s reckless decision to launch a war of choice against Iran explicitly seeking regime change.
