It’s National Women in Construction Week!
America’s unions celebrate the women working in the construction trades, their skills, their solidarity and the leadership they bring to the jobsite as they build a bright future for all women in their industry.
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...

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.

This Public Schools Week, I’m grateful for the people who show up for students every day and make schools places where young people can grow and thrive. Strong public schools are built through real support, partnership and investment. www.publicschoolproud.org

The SAVE America act would make it harder for us to vote.
Congress should make it easier for working people’s voices to be heard, not silencing them. They must reject this voter suppression bill.
The emergency? The President has been told by his pollsters he will lose if its a free and fair election… www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The SAVE America Act would silence the voices of working people who don’t have passports or can’t afford fancy international vacations.
Congress must protect our right to vote and stop this voter suppression scam.

No matter what President Trump says, ICE on our streets does not make anyone safer.
Our elected officials must demand an end to the lawless cruelty enacted by federal agents.
@aftpa.bsky.social offers our sincerest congratulations to our member, Jen Mazzocco, on her hard-fought election victory. Jen has been an invaluable member of AFTPA for many years, and we were proud to support her candidacy for the General Assembly. @aft.org

On @velshimsnow.bsky.social, @mawaldman.bsky.social
explains that the SAVE Act is "very, very carefully crafted to exclude certain groups." That includes voters of color, younger voters, married women who have changed their names, and more.
Over 7,500 members told us about the financial hardship they face, and the stories are heart-wrenching.
That’s why we launched the "Fight for Affordability" campaign to help you tackle debt and get ahead. Learn about the campaign, our latest union victories, & more. @rweingarten.bsky.social

Student loan borrowers could get hit with a massive “tax bomb” just for having debt forgiven. That’s not relief — it’s a trap. Lawmakers must act to protect working people from surprise tax bills on canceled debt. #StudentLoans #DebtRelief #ProtectBorrowers 💸📚 www.newsweek.com/warning-stud...

Nearly *half a million more U.S. workers* were represented by a union in 2025 than 2024.
In a time of fear, and uncertainty, working people want greater agency in the workplace and in making policy that shapes their lives.
@hshierholz.bsky.social, @cmcnich.bsky.social & Margaret Poydock's latest
When working people come together and fight for better working conditions and our fair share, we can create an economy that works for us, not greedy billionaires and giant corporations.
That’s why it’s #BetterInAUnion.
Working people are being crushed by soaring costs. That's why today AFT is launching our Fight for Affordability campaign—providing resources like a debt navigator tool, how-to videos, and live debt clinics to help members deal with the costs weighing down their families.
www.aft.org/fight-for-af...
Union membership grew by nearly half a million last year—including tens of thousands of educators and healthcare workers who joined AFT to win better wages, stronger benefits, and safer, more dignified working conditions. That’s the power of a union. #ProtectWorkers #1u www.epi.org/publication/...
