BREAKING: AFT affiliates are suing the Trump-Vance administration for unlawfully withholding $5B in education funding. Without these funds, schools face cuts to programs, staffing & services. This is a direct attack on public education. aft.org/press-release/…
Schools that support all students in learning are safe & welcoming with rigorous curriculum—and they model processes that teach students the value of democracy. @LPI_Learning researchers explain how in the Summer 2025 #AmericanEducator. Read it here: aft.org/ae/summer2025/…

📢 This week, we honored the late Congressman John Lewis and his vision for our nation at the #GoodTroubeLivesOn Rally in Chicago. We rallied with educators, faith leaders, working families, and our community to keep fighting for the futures we deserve—ones where everyone has…
Trump shut down the LGBTQ line of the 988 suicide hotline. That decision will cost lives—especially queer youth. If you voted for him, you helped make this happen. Spare us the outrage, @RepMikeLawler. Supporting his agenda means supporting harm to our community.
You can’t build stable, supportive learning environments for students when staff are cut year after year. Layoffs mean trusted adults disappear overnight. Lesson plans, relationships, and routines—all disrupted. Art teachers like Jess Park are beloved by their students, who are…
