THANK YOU! This was the best @aftunion convention I’ve ever been part of, and I hope all of our members across education, healthcare, and public services know we love you. Let's just do a brief (and incomplete because it's hard to capture it all) recap of how it went. 1/9
On July 5, join the thousands of educators attending the 2023 NEA Representative Assembly in Orlando and demand an end to book bans and the politicizing of public education. https://t.co/TrxttJcXZi
Good for the College Board. If DeSantis blocks AP classes, he is taking away the rights of students and parents. He is making Florida less competitive. He is using the power of the state against those he does not like or agree with. #PublicSchoolsUniteUs https://t.co/lOCglpS2P6
“According to Masserio, the number of resignations have doubled since May 2022. She said the current political climate and politically motivated attacks have affected educator morale, "making educators question whether this is the right place for them."”

“There’s an old saying, teachers’ working conditions are our students’ learning conditions. I'm always being asked, ‘What are you teaching next semester?’ And I have to say, ‘I don't know.’ ...I mean, that's terrible for a student.” @ruaaup https://t.co/rwEI9eM4Xk
There is no one better to study during #BlackHistoryMonth than Rosa Parks. As we see in the film and book both titled "The Rebellious Life Of Mrs. Rosa Parks," there’s nothing random about Mrs. Parks spearheading the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

The truth about America's teacher shortage -it worsened during the pandemic-because of burnout & “the culture wars that put teachers and staff under constant scrutiny over any conversations involving history, racism and sexuality.” https://t.co/9LkbPp9lM9
Reading is fundamental. We all know that. So what happens when language becomes a barrier to reading? When the focus on English-only literacy excludes families whose first language is, say, Haitian Creole? Read how @BTU66 is helping remedy this: https://t.co/aUXqZ4lS0e
Florida is home to millions of seniors, including FEA’s retirees, who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicare. But that hasn’t stopped Ron DeSantis from working to cut crucial benefits and trying to raise the retirement age to 70. Florida seniors deserve better. Vote Nov. 8.

The gov did not take care of teacher pay in Florida. He talks about beginning pay, that is all. Not teachers with experience or support staff. #FLGovDebate

Just the facts! Florida currently ranks #1 for largest increase in rent and homeowners insurance. Is tied for #1 for most expensive health care. Yet wages are low - teachers 48th, support staff near the bottom. Funding for public schools - 45. Vote for change - @CharlieCrist
Next up to speak at the FEA 2022 Delegate Assembly is @NEAToday Vice President @PrincessRMoss who was escorted to the stage by Florida’s NEA Board of Directors.
