AFT Virginia

We are educators who are union members of the American Federation of Teachers in Virginia. We are building power across our locals and across VA.

We are holding another Town Hall on 8/12 - virtual this time!

If you missed our Richmond event this is a great opportunity to learn more about what's happening with school funding policy and give your input for our 2026 legislative priorities.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our rally with @FCFTunion!

1 week from Election Day, our message is loud and clear:

We’re ready to take the fight to Donald Trump and Mike Johnson and Teach Them A Lesson!

@sgpekarsky For Congress! We are out knocking doors in Franconia. 💙🇺🇸🗳️ Vote June 28th! @FCFTunion Rally earlier. #ElectWomen #Women4Congress #RunStellaRun

[Stella Pekarsky @sgpekarsky]

I am honored to be endorsed by the @FCFTunion. I am the first candidate in this race to receive an endorsement from a labor union.

I have spent my career fighting for our public school teachers and staff, and I am ready to take that fight to Congress.

Happy #Pride month!

Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome in their schools and communities, and to live authentically as themselves. This month, let's celebrate the contributions of our LGBTQ+ siblings & continue the fight for civil rights and acceptance for all.

More than 2,000 people showed up early on a gray Saturday morning in Lorton, Va., to take their pick of 30,000 brand-new, curated, free books, courtesy of the @FCFTunion & our #ReadingOpensTheWorld initiative. https://t.co/YwbX3acT1O

Refusing to fund the collective bargaining agreement for school workers while cutting property taxes and turning down private revenue sources that would bring thousands of union jobs — doesn’t make sense.

Happy International Workers’ Day! #HandsOffPublicEducation

[AAUP@Mason @AAUPMason]

TOMORROW 4/17 - It's time to fight for the values of free inquiry, free speech, equity, and diversity! Tell the BOV that we refuse to go back on our promise to build a more inclusive campus (10am). Then join us on Wilkins Plaza at noon to learn about future actions you can take!

Exactly. Teachers & school support professionals work hard to make sure schools are safe and welcoming for their students. This kind of disruption puts everyone on edge and distracts from learning. https://t.co/zymTu4j0EA

A huge thank you to everyone who joined our Advocacy Day on Thursday! We had lots of amazing conversations with legislators about the importance of prioritizing funding for our public schools - and we're really jazzed about our new t-shirts!

[Norfolk Federation of Teachers @NFT_4261]

NFT in Richmond today! Making our voices heard and advocating for full funding of our schools and pro-worker legislation. #FundOurSchools
