Let’s celebrate Friday with some music! 🥁 🎶
@fedingram joined students and teachers at Turie T. Small Elementary in Daytona Beach, FL to give away books and teach a music class. Check out this excellent percussion practice from the 4th and 5th graders. #PublicSchoolProud
Ended my visit to St. Croix AFT with two school visits. Our members are as passionate as ever but they need help - building and safety issues persist, funding is a major issue but the commitment is unwavering in spite of underserved conditions. @AFTunion stands in solidarity!
Imagine pardoning people who stormed the Capitol and assaulted police officers on January 6 but trying to depict this as scary?! 😂@Local_802_AFM
Have a fun, peaceful, and empowering day with your community, everyone! #NoKings
When techs can’t afford the very healthcare they deliver, that’s not efficiency, it’s exploitation.
When nurses are forced to choose between their patients and a meal, that’s not care, it’s cruelty.

Today thousands marched in community with millions across this country to again speak truth to power… These unprecedented times require unique and extraordinary measures and today is one of the days that people are drawing the line in the sand.
We know that education is a pillar of democracy - and we’re glad to see Tallahassee families agree.
Thank you @fedingram for speaking truth to power. #NoKings
"How do we make state lawmakers more responsive to what the citizens of the state need - which is a good public education system, good public schools, that respect their educators?" - @rweingarten

Welcome the AFPENC to the AFT family! @PENCvoice

Teachers do more than teaching reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. They open students' eyes to what's possible, and give them the tools they need to thrive.
Thank you to all of our educators for all you do for students, families, and communities! #WorldTeachersDay@EduInt
Good friends, good leaders, finding a moment of joy through the struggle.
