It's an amazing day in a chaotic time. - @rweingarten at @FloridaEA's #FEADA21

I've been in 20 states, 40 schools since Aug 1. Every place I'm in you see it in educator's and bus driver's eyes: the joy of being back. - @rweingarten #FEADA21 @FloridaEA

Part of being here for as long as I've been here... is that when @FloridaEA came together, it was a pivotal moment for the union. - @rweingarten #FEADA21

If we didn't come together, we would have been driven apart. - @rweingarten #FEADA21

When Betsy DeVos left, @rweingarten had two words for her: Good riddance. #FEADA21

No one goes into teaching or nursing or fire-fighting thinking they're going to be as rich as the Amazon guy who goes into space a lot. - @rweingarten #FEADA21

It was the advocacy of our members... it's how we use unions to create collective power and action. - @rweingarten on the #PSLF news that came out this week. aft.org/news/aft-settl…

Thank you, not only for your work as teachers and paras and bus drivers, but for your union power. - @rweingarten #FEADA21 @FloridaEA
