@rifthp & NEARI, the program provides Teacher Assistants with the training and support needed to move into Pre-K-12 classroom teaching roles.
Not even a snowstorm could stop us from celebrating this huge victory for retirees and public workers. Thank you to all our @AFTUnion family for making your way to DC for this historic signing. #SocialSecurityFairnessAct (1/3)
It is an honor to welcome the Paul Cuffee Lower School into the @rifthp@AFTunion family! They overwhelmingly won their union and will begin bargaining to strengthen their community and give voice to the skilled, dedicated staff. Congratulations!!!!
We all owe @rifthp union members our gratitude for their leadership day-in & day-out in the helping professions — teachers, counselors, nurses & more — on the front lines of supporting our communities.
Let’s continue elevating their important work.
Kudos to the Pawtucket Teachers Alliance, @PSDRI_Schools and the Pawt teachers and facilitators who spent this Saturday strengthening their capacity to support students. 👏👏👏@Mlabossiere@sharon_usher@beaup3
“Kamala Harris represents a new generation of leadership that is fighting for real solutions for all American families. We must not get dragged back into chaos, fear and hate. It’s time to turn the page.” -@rweingarten (Full statement: https://t.co/TQtpn4Cmmk) #DebateNight2024
Holy cow. Chris Wallace just totally summarized the debate perfectly: “Tonight was just devastating. It was a shutout on almost every subject I can think of. Trump looked angry, scowling, and old.”
If you love Trump, you should be rattled tonight. VP Harris came ready to stand toe to toe. He has attitude and scorn, but she seems more thoughtful and presidential. And she’s not afraid of him.
After tonight’s debate there should be no doubt – no room for discussion – @KamalaHarris is the only candidate in this race who is ready to be President.
I am once again urging everyone to roll up their sleeves and DO SOMETHING – phone bank, knock on doors, talk to any and everyone you know and urge them to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Every vote will matter in what will be a close race. We cannot afford to have anyone sitting on the sidelines. There’s simply too much at stake.

Tonight, we saw firsthand who has the vision and strength to move this country forward instead of dividing us. @KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans.
Let's get to work: https://t.co/EuAXRi0gI2
