Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

This election is unlike any in my lifetime. It's about hope and opportunity, freedom, and the future of our democracy. Let's vote for Kamala Harris for a brighter future for all of us. #AFTVotes

Absolutely correct, Randi. And it’s unAmerican. Enough.

Trump announces he will defund public schools if they don’t obey him as president

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Our goal as public school teachers is to teach kids how to think, not what to think. Trump wants to change that- he is threatening funding if they don’t teach what he wants. That’s indoctrination and it’s dangerous. Our kids deserve better.

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

As I've traveled the country meeting AFT members, there is so much passion & yearning for a unifying leader who is focused on the future for kids and families. Real solutions for working families. That’s why educators &health care workers want ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩
