Congratulations to our Cherry Creek union family who made history today by collectively bargaining their first contract. @ColoradoEA is now 950 paraeducators stronger! 💪
Investing in educators is investing in our students' futures. Fair pay ensures our schools can attract and keep talented teachers who can afford to live in the communities they serve. Join us in giving educators what they deserve! #WeAreCEA
Our nearly 40,000 members are united and ready to fight against this initiative alongside the collective power of our community allies and with the support of the people of Colorado. #edcolo#coleg#copolitics Read More: https://t.co/2FXssJMVBi

Yesterday, I joined @ColoradoEA to bring public awareness on the deception on Amendment 80 in Colorado.
It will syphon public funding from public schools for vouchers.
Vote NO on Amendment 80!

If we can provide over a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top one percent and large corporations, please don’t tell me that we cannot afford to make sure that every teacher in America receives the wages, benefits, and support that they deserve.
“The No. 1 reason teachers leave the profession is the pay. The No. 1 reason parents don’t want their children to become teachers is the pay. So, the No. 1 solution...must be increasing teacher salaries.” —John Arthur, 6th grade teacher and @myUEA member
