Working together, we secured new legislation that will lead our schools forward, including bills to prioritize recess and play, protect students’ freedom to read, and support community colleges. (2/4)

[NYSUT @nysut]

As our public schools and libraries bear the brunt of culture wars, we're fighting to protect the freedom to read and learn through the Freedom to Read Act and the Open Shelves Act – two bills that empower school libraries and library staff.

In partnership with the @NYLA_1890, NYSUT hosted Open Books, Open Minds in Albany for legislators to meet with school librarians and President @MelindaJPerson to discuss the importance of open shelves and intellectual freedom.

Stopped by today’s Summer Meal Block Party at Schenectady Central Park 🍎🥪

As a first-generation American from Schenectady, I know how crucial community support is. For more than 30 years, this program has provided essential nutrition to our children during the summer. Nearly 13,000 meals across 19 sites in 2023 alone.

🙌 Huge thanks to our volunteers and partners like the Sycamore Collaborative @SICM_NY, @UnitedWay, and the @SCSchools 💪🌞

Remember Valentina Gomez, a far-right MAGA enthusiast who promised to burn books if she was elected to Missouri Secretary of State?

Well, at Tuesday's Primary election, she received less than 7.5% of the vote.
Nice job Missouri.
