There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.
There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.
Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.
Let’s grow the trade union movement.
Why do we march on May Day?
This year, we march because certain politicians are defunding our schools and attacking our communities.
We are speaking up. We are protecting our freedoms. We are reclaiming our power.
Unions are the anecdote to authoritarianism! 
NEA members and their local unions refused to comply in advance and will do everything they can to protect public education. #UnionStrong #ProudUnionEducator
SOLIDARITY FOREVER ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

👩🏫 Women earn less
🏫 HBCU faculty face pay penalties
📚 Adjuncts are underpaid
But unionized faculty earn more—and collective bargaining is driving gains. Read more: buff.ly/2heqsN7
Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. 
Let’s not make it harder to learn.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture 
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Starbucks paid its CEO $800K a day last year, while workers are fighting for a fair contract. They can definitely afford to pay a livable wage. No contract, no coffee! #ToBeAPartner #UnionsForAll

Those who benefit from this privatization scheme are not students, families, or taxpayers who support neighborhood public schools.” coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/03/bill...

Stoking fear about immigrants and mass deporting people whose labor makes our country prosper is a betrayal of our values, and a recipe for economic disaster.
If federal education funding is cut, it would be devastating to students with disabilities and their families. Parents are speaking out about how eliminating the Department of Education would harm their children. Read what they're saying 👉🏽 buff.ly/iAJbuoj

Now some students are facing their final weeks on campus.
Voters have repeatedly rejected school vouchers that take funding from public schools. Yet, anti-public education politicians are forcing them through executive orders—hurting millions of students. Public funds belong in public schools. Tell Congress to stop attacks on our students👉🏽 buff.ly/4hYMx7e

We have seen this before, attacks on the public good & the vulnerable, the racism & fear-mongering. And we know the antidote, solidarity, collective action, & disruption. Y’all stretch, it’s time. ✊🏽

Organizing happens everyday & Ben knows how to fight & win!
I sent a letter to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors this week highlighting the importance of maintaining teacher payroll and student transportation while the receiver addresses the district's financial challenges.

As educators, we are united in supporting every student—no matter the language they speak or their place of birth—and ensuring they have access to safe, welcoming public schools.
Here is guidance from NEA's Office of General Counsel that may be helpful.
We remain committed to using the power and strength of the largest labor union in the country to ensure every public school is a safe space for every student, regardless of the language they speak or their immigration status.
