While the rich get richer, our members are drowning in debt. The AFT launched the "Fight for Affordability" campaign to provide resources, financial foundations, and a pathway to fight back against this affordability crisis. Get the tools you need right now at aft.org/affordability
Just fyi- Trump claims he ended DEI...but literally last month we won our lawsuit, preventing him from cutting civil rights laws including the commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in schools. www.aft.org/press-releas... . www.aft.org/press-releas...
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Let’s go DC! 🇺🇸 #NoKings
I’m in Chicago right now. There’s a lovely sunset on a crisp Fall day.
Millions of Americans will be hurt by huge cuts to Medicaid and rural hospitals and the expiration of Affordable Care Act tax credits—and that does nothing to help make America great or healthy.
This #LaborDay were fighting for what #WorkersDeserve!
Every day, something extraordinary happens in our public schools. That’s why we’re relaunching #PublicSchoolProud—to lift up stories like Elk Valley Elementary, where a rebuilt library brought joy & hugs back to students. www.aft.org/news/hugs-an...
With Medicaid under attack & millions of hardworking Americans losing the health care services they depend on, @rweingarten.bsky.social, @aft.org & @uftnyc.bsky.social are standing up & speaking out on the National Mall tonight, part of a 60 hour vigil to save Medicaid, organized by Families First.
Hey folks 👋 I’m a mid-Michigan dad and a union educator who’s been standing up to billionaires like Betsy DeVos.
Now I’m running for Congress to lower costs—and invest in families. Will you pitch in to help launch my grassroots campaign? 👇

Trump's big, ugly betrayal hurts working families by taking food off the table, abandoning public education and eroding the social programs that support hardworking Americans.

Today we launched the National Academy for AI Instruction with UFT, Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic to offer free, high-quality AI training to educators. Some of you have expressed legitimate reservations about AI and tech companies. I want to speak to you directly. 🧵
Slashing the services we need
+ giving billionaires massive tax cuts

SCOTUS knee capped lower courts today while kicking the question of birthright citizenship down the road. Justices Sotomayor and Jackson are right to call out problems and dangers of this decision.

The Trump bill treats public schools as a piggy bank that it can break to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and create chaos for schools across the country even as we watch how disastrously voucher programs have gone nationwide. #HandsOffPublicSchools
Billionaire-backed voucher schemes mean fewer teachers, crowded classrooms, and disappearing support services in our public schools.
They’re undermining our kids’ futures on purpose.
#HandsOffPublicSchools
Trump’s bill will divert billions from public schools to private vouchers—mostly for families who already send their kids to private schools. It’s not about helping students. It’s about gutting public education to hand tax breaks to the wealthy.
#HandsOffPublicSchools
Anti-union extremists are pushing a federal budget that would make devastating cuts to public services & vital programs like Medicaid—all to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
