#SB1343 provides a more secure retirement for all educators, protecting their existing and future retirement plans and California’s tax dollars. We urge CA legislators to vote yes!
@NFT1986@burkemaryjane Instead of blaming teachers’ fears, as this article does, let’s focus on empathy, vaccination for staff, and community transmission that will lead to school transitions.
AFT had a plan to reopen schools since April. We now have a President that believes in science and has a national plan to #ReopenSafely. As Dr. Fauci says, we know in school learning is important for students, it must be resourced and safe.
@burkemaryjane “Accelerate vaccination procurement and distribution..... The faster we vaccinate, the faster we can get back to normal.” Add to this - ‘vaccinate on-site personnel first’
From day one, educators across the country adjusted and adapted to this pandemic with little to no guidance. It’s not fair to reopen in the same way when we have the time to do it right. https://t.co/v2q97HOmv1
Marco Rubio is lying. Our union has been talking about reopening since April, in fact I published an OpEd on it this week. The fact reopening safely costs money. Trying to withhold money from schools only slows down reopening. Stop lying Senator. https://t.co/PZnU7xxXGU
The simple fact is Biden understands that teachers want to teach and be safe. Those aren’t in competition, we have to work to make it safe so teachers and students can return. https://t.co/DRZXd5SRxN
February vote in Senate on whether to convict Trump should be a secret ballot in order to (1) protect safety of senators, and (2) allow them to vote their consciences. Pass it on.
I'm excited to announce that I'm having a fireside chat with Dr. Fauci on Thursday. This time we'll be joined by the NEA. AFT members can submit questions here. https://t.co/6kuNxQkrpr
@NFT1986@burkemaryjane@NUSD1 I think it is in accordance with every other decision they have made. It is shameful that they put themselves ahead of staff who are in contact with kids every day. I hope they will attend any future equity trainings they require teachers to take.
