Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.

Kamala Harris is Black, has always been Black, and always will be Black. Donald Trump got one too many tans and thinks he knows about Black people! His racist dumbass can’t win on his record of failure, so he’s getting very very desperate. BTW Orange is not the new Black!
PWEA spread the joy of reading today by sharing free books with students from kindergarten to 12th grade at the PWCS Community event! Everyone is feeling thrilled & energized for the school year ahead. The festivities continue until 2:00 pm at Unity Reed HS - we'd love to see you
PWEA leadership extends heartfelt appreciation to @JenniferWexton for her dedication to bolstering & advocating for our public schools and the families of PWC. Such commitment to our community is truly commendable. Thank you, Congresswoman Wexton, for your service and leadership.
It was an amazing weekend! We gained valuable reps, we strengthened our strongest sites, and grew our power. We are building SO much more than a house of cards… wanna bet? 🫶
A huge shoutout to PWEA's 1st round of passionate Site Reps who dedicated their first summer weekend to expanding their contract knowledge, fostering relationships, and learning organizing strategies to prepare for our contract era beginning July 1st.
From firing union educators to refusing to give employees a seat at the table, school systems across Virginia are attacking the very people they claim to value.
Working families need School Boards to step up and protect & empower educators, students, and communities!
It's time for this to come to an END. Threatening violence in today's climate within the classroom... is NEVER acceptable. Now, he tries to cover up by retaliation. Your educators deserve better.

We refuse to be swayed by their attempts to create chaos. Instead, we want to concentrate on celebrating our achievements and the articles tentatively agreed upon during negotiations. We urge PWEA members and all VEA members in VA to unite against Fedderman’s harmful actions.
2/3
However, James Fedderman continues to spread misinformation about the members of PWEA. Over a year ago, a letter highlighted ongoing corruption and aggression by VEA Leadership against PWEA. Due to their actions, we cannot trust that VEA has our members’ interests in mind.
A 🧵 1/3
The PWEA Board of Directors aimed to keep the inappropriate behavior of the @VEA4Kids President James Fedderman and VEA General Counsel Cathie Lee private to avoid conflict and stay focused on delivering wins for PWEA members and our colleagues.
The employees of PWCS will no longer suffer like we did when growing our family, serving their union, or moving classrooms. Welcome to our #ContractERA. Right back at you, @HansfordMaggie and @broderick_dunn, for your service and support!!!
PWEA along with PWCS announce a historic achievement finalizing negotiations for the 2024-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Thank you, @broderick_dunn, @KJ4Change & @HansfordMaggie
When educators have adequate employee benefits, they can devote their time and energy to their students and families. This is beneficial to all students, enhances employee morale, and facilitates the retention of valued employees in our schools. Thank you, @broderick_dunn 🎉🎉
Belt? Do you mean this belt? @HansfordMaggie you defined what it means to truly represent 11k employees! @becca1621, did you find that highlighter?
Also, thanks @broderick_dunn… you are amazing!
We did it! What a day for @PrinceWilliamEA and over the 11,000 Educators in PWCS. @KJ4Change you got the belt, right? Couldn’t have done it without you, @broderick_dunn!
We are overwhelmed with pride for the milestones we've achieved this year & we'd love to share a few more snapshots from our all-member meeting. 1/2
PWEA is honored to represent over 11,000 PWCS Educators at the negotiating table AGAIN while we work to achieve an even stronger contract for ALL.
Our Team along with @broderick_dunn want to make sure we wish a very happy birthday to @NEAToday Vice President @PrincessRMoss!
PWEA calls on the Prince William County School Board to follow the rules they wrote and voted on within their Resolution. We ask that the School Board have their team come to the table next week with renewed good faith and respect for all educators across the division.
