Wonderful opening session form John Guzauckas, a leader from @UConnCEASP ! Looking forward to a day filling networking, learning, and leading with our @NEAToday Aspiring Educators at our Northeast Fall Regional Conference!
So happy for you, @JahanaHayesCT. You’re a breath of fresh air and you’re going to be a game changer for Connecticut in Congress. Can’t wait to campaign with you all over the 5th!
Transgender students deserve to feel safe at school. Period. We are horrified by the violent threats made by these parents and proud that the Achille, OK school district is taking serious action to protect #LGBTQ kids https://t.co/HBgVOkkkrz (1/2)
#OnThisDay in 1935, the National Labor Relations Act went into effect, guaranteeing workers the right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. When unions our strong, our economy is strong, and we must continue to fight to make sure the economy works for working people.

The union is getting stronger. We're raising our voices to protect public schools. We're wearing #RedForEd to support every student. Please watch the full video and join us in fighting for our nation's public school students and educators: https://t.co/xhoTV8yOVQ
If talking about race was easy, racism wouldn’t be an issue. Be brave. Feel uncomfortable. Have those conversations. Learn. Grow. Help others grow. #NEARA18
“Path Academy’s voluntary surrender of its charter to operate in CT is the beginning, not the end of what is needed to ensure that charter schools are held to the same standards as traditional public schools," said CEA President Sheila Cohen https://t.co/WJ5NSQO8NR
So proud of the Aspiring Educators caucus and everything that we’ve accomplished during the 2018 RA and SLC. I’m very thankful that I get to serve alongside y’all. 🍎❤️
Student leader @davidhogg111 addressed #NEARA18 today saying, “We are young and that means we don’t have to accept the status quo. And we never will. We intend to close the gap between the world as it is and what it should be." https://t.co/wQcgisRoA7
As we focus on social justice at #NEARA18 today, keep Kristie Iwamoto's important reminder in mind: "Conversations around equity issues can be tough, challenging, even hurtful. But they are necessary if we are serious about every child getting a quality education." @WeAreCTA
#QOTD: "You are the night sky and your students are the stars. The power of education has no borders."- high school freshman Faaya to #NEARA18 https://t.co/uKrAzFtM2v
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to attend NEA-GLBT 2018 Robert Birle Memorial Dinner and so proud to share my union with so many amazing activists and allies!
The NEA was built to protect, defend, and give opportunity to professionals and students. The NEA is not a thing, or a building. The NEA is an organization of people - a living, growing, thriving union. #NEARA18
Thank you @rweingarten for keeping us focused on the true power of unions today at #NEARA18: "We are on the same side for justice, opportunity, and democracy. Together, we can accomplish what is impossible for people to accomplish alone." ☝ @AFTunion
