Tell the truth. Tell the truth about America history. And you can’t talk about American history without African American history. @fedingram
African Americans deserve to not only be at the table but to be a part of the fabric of America. @fedingram
We stand with @RepBowman on to make sure we are teaching honest history. @fedingram
Thank you to @RepBowman for championing the African American History act. African American history IS American history; we will continue fighting to teach the truth.

HAPPENING NOW: We're hosting a live town hall about gun violence prevention with @jerrytjordan, @fred_guttenberg, @abbeyclements & @rweingarten at 6:45 p.m. ET.

Follow along in the thread below, and watch live here: facebook.com/AFTunion

.@rweingarten: The last few days have been really difficult, with the anniversary of #SandyHook and the recent shooting in Oxford, MI. #EndGunViolenceNow Image
.@rweingarten: I wish say this is going to be our last town hall about preventing gun violence. But with the filibuster rules in the Senate, with the NRA, with the vigilantism growing in our country, we'd argue that gun violence is getting worse, not better. #EndGunViolenceNow

Today we are launching the AFT #ReadingOpensTheWorld literacy campaign! We are at Malcolm X Elementary school in Washington, D.C. and we are joined by Pres @rweingarten, @fedingram, @AFTEVPDeJesus, @AFLCIO Pres @lizshuler, @WTUTeacher Pres Jackie Pogue Lyons, and @FirstBook.
I’d like to thank my AFT family for honoring the WTU by kicking off their literacy campaign right here in the District of Columbia, here at Malcom X.

This afternoon President @rweingarten is joining the @TaubmanCenter's School Choice in the Post-Pandemic Era conference. 🧵
Since the beginning of August, I have visited scores of public schools in 20 states and territories, 40-50 schools in 30 different localities. @rweingarten
And I'm saying that because from Petaluma to Puerto Rico, the joy students and staff feel to be back in school, in-person, is palpable. @rweingarten

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
