Watch Council Member @RitaJosephNYC advocate for the UFT childcare providers who were left in the lurch when their employers disappeared. These workers must be paid NOW.
UFT President Michael Mulgrew says it is not acceptable that the NYC contracted childcare workers standing with him have not been paid for work they already did. "You work, you get paid."
The UFT contingent had a great day canvassing and bonding with our counterparts in the Philly area. We are planning multiple trips to Pennsylvania in the next few weeks. UFT members interested in volunteering can go here to learn more: https://t.co/kn595XTJ3K #UnionsForHarrisWalz
These videos of the aftermath of recent Israeli strikes are beyond words. There has been almost a year of sustained killing of children, often with US weapons. An average of two Palestinian babies a day killed in Gaza since October.

What I admire most about Joe is his decency, his resilience, and his unshakable belief in the promise of our country. Over the last four years, those are the values America has needed most. I am proud to call him my president, and I’m so grateful to call him my friend.
