At Boston's Federal building, we joined with area unions today to protest the gutting of NIH funding that will slow, stall or even kill critical research -- and economically hurt everyone from researchers to building cleaners. @hgsuuaw @MITGradUnion @AFTMass @BUgradunion @SEIU509 @massteacher

Students may know #MLK for his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, but there's more to learn about the civil rights leader.

Perspective: I’m a high school teacher. Freed of MCAS, here’s my wish list. The way forward needs to offer both high expectations and changes to engage the next generation of learners.

The Fair Share Amendment's success last year — raising $2.2 billion; paying for universal school meals, free community college, and much more — was one of @Wonkette's Top Five Good Things That Happened In 2024!

NEA President @BeckyPringle says Social Security Fairness Act is “a historic victory that will improve the lives of educators, first responders, postal workers and others who dedicate their lives to public service in their communities.”

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act.

Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment.

No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.

[NEA @NEAToday]

Great news! With a vote of 73-27, the Senate advanced the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct—which would repeal penalties that rob educators, first responders, and other public service workers of their Social Security.

Please keep up your calls! Text SENATOR to 48744 to get connected.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The Senate will vote this week to take up a bipartisan piece of legislation that impacts millions—the Social Security Fairness Act.

It would deliver for our retired firefighters and postal workers and police officers and teachers and other public servants.

[Massachusetts Teachers Association @massteacher]

The Senate could vote to repeal GPO + WEP as soon as Monday! Let's keep the pressure on to repeal unfair penalties that take Social Security away from millions of educators and other public service workers.
