Nobody wins with these cuts. Not our students. Not workers. Not working families. Certainly not Harrisburg Republicans.
These cuts are an attack on working people. We need a budget that funds SEPTA and the other public services we ALL depend on

HAPPENING NOW: Philly labor is holding a press conference to call on our elected officials in Harrisburg to get the job down, and pass a budget NOW

Today’s mass shooting in West Philly is devastating. Our city is riddled by the gun violence epidemic. Gun violence is a moral issue & our leaders in Harrisburg keep choosing the wrong side.
We are keeping those affected by this senseless tragedy in our thoughts and prayers

For a look at how Trump’s education cuts will impact you in Pennsylvania, go to aftvotes.org/how-trumps-e...
In the meantime, here’s a quick fact sheet 👇
A Philadelphia Federation of Teachers flyer promoting a March 4 day of action to protect our kids: The Trump administration wants to slash education and healthcare funding to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Their plan to gut the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) and shift funding to block grants would: • Rob 26 million students in poverty of critical services. • Strip 7.5 million students with disabilities of special education support. • Eliminate career and technical education for 12 million students— threatening future job opportunities. • Cut Medicaid and student loans, leaving 10.3 million people without healthcare and 10 million working-class families without college access. On March 4, educators, students, parents, and community allies will take action to demand support for public schools and oppose harmful cuts. Join the movement by urging lawmakers to stop the cuts, raising awareness of the impact, mobilizing communities, making headlines with stories and events, and organizing locally to defend vital services. Join us on March 4 and stand up to protect our kids! Visit www.AFT.org/ ProtectOurKids for resources and details: https://www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids
Meme from the movie Mean Girls showing three characters in a convertible car with the text: Get in besties - On March 4th, we're going to protect our kids
SAVE THE DATE: On March 4th, we're joining @aftunion.bsky.social locals, labor siblings, elected leaders, & allies for a nationwide day of action to protest the Trump-Musk assault on public education.
More info to come, stay tuned! www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids #ProtectOurKids #PHLed

To be clear: These people do not care about you, your coworkers, or the average worker in America. Repealing established, life-saving agencies like OSHA is not making
America great or healthy; it is harming workers.
Show your coworkers radical love and organize a union
"The diversification of our workforce has made America stronger because more Americans are contributing to our success. Diversifying our workforce has shrunk the historical gender and racial pay gaps that we hopefully will one day close"
