Our youngest learners are negatively impacted by constant teacher and staff turnover due to the chronic public underfunding of early childhood education programs. #Childcare and #Prek educators deserve #WorthyWages! Today is #WorthyWageDay—retweet to show your support.
Since 1992, individuals, organizations and educators have come together around May 1st to fight for #worthywages for #ChildCare and #PreK educators. Why are we fighting for the same thing 30 years later? #SolveChildCare
We'd like to thank the 214 parent groups, civil rights groups, student groups, religious groups & fellow unions representing more than 10 million people nationwide to say “thank you” to America’s teachers. #TeacherAppreciationDay#ThankATeacher
Welcome to the opening general session for this year’s @PSRP_AFT Conference!
After our welcome from AFT PSRP Director @LaLaSamet, we’ll hear from AFT PSRP PPC Chair Shelvy Y. Abrams and keynote speaker AFT President @rweingarten. Follow along! 🧵
You all are what makes our schools and colleges run. Thank you, thank you… This conference is about celebrating all of you.
Shelvy Y. Abrams
We need to keep organizing and community building; we need to keep running campaigns to advance or lives.
.@rweingarten to @uicgeo: The bottom line is this, and you’ve all said it already: Together we can accomplish what we cannot alone. Now if you’re Bezos or Musk or DeVos, you can probably do a lot alone. But for us, we need to join together to have power. #GEOonStrike
.@rweingarten: Power is not just a given. You have to take it. You have to build it. This is a time-honored tradition - joining together, waking together, arriving together. That’s how we build a better life for ourselves and our communities. #GEOonStrike
.@rweingarten: What you’re doing in this quad is what the Amazon workers in Staten Island and Starbucks workers across the country are doing. #GEOonStrike
