When students understand the impact of loss, they can better support grieving peers. Foster compassionate school environments where every student feels seen and supported. This #GriefAwarenessDay, let’s equip students with the tools to make a difference. https://t.co/Sa744qjXrm
.@rweingarten joined @ABCNewsLive to discuss Trump's plans to dismantle the Department of Education.
"It’s not saving money. It’s just basically eviscerating the services."

I will keep saying it until everyone hears it:
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
Educators deserve professional pay.
We won’t leave anything to chance. Our civil liberties are on the line. We are Progressives and we must fight to maintain forward momentum. Thank you @rweingarten@AFT@DFT231@aftmichigan We are with her @Progs4Harris
Vouchers are part of a Christian Nationalist agenda.
One that prioritizes freedom for white Christian men like Trump, Vance, Sam Alito.
And me.
All of that is true. Watch the full clip.
I stand by my demand for public policies that have a broader meaning of freedom.
Our members are some of the most trusted voices in their communities. They know great leaders believe in a quality public education, safe communities, and the dignity of work. https://t.co/769FOAdqR9 @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris
The @aftunion Exec. Council just voted to endorse @KamalaHarris for president, subject to ratification by delegates to the 2024 AFT convention. Harris is fighting to restore Roe, fighting for families,for student debt relief and is a powerful advocate for workers.
We are here at our convention in Houston and our members are so grateful to @JoeBiden. He's always stood with us and our members know that. The gratitude and love for him here is incredible. Thank you, Mr. President. https://t.co/XYZGJIE6a9
"If you want the polls to go up, then hell, go out and talk about Joe Biden! Talk about the good that he has done for this country and have his back like he has had our backs for these past four years."
The 8th circuit just blocked @POTUS@VP life changing SAVE plan. This creates more chaos in a system riddled with problems. Loan payments for teachers, nurses & firefighters could skyrocket + set them back from qualifying for PSLF. https://t.co/R2wkHysVDS
@MichiganDems restored collective bargaining rights to critical issues for educators, layoff, recall, discipline, discharge, seniority, transfer, evaluation and payroll deducted union dues! Thank you! @DFT231 Tentative Agreement has them all & then some!
"It is the first time in more than a decade where the @DFT231 could negotiate key bargaining items restored by the Michigan Legislature & @GovWhitmer last year, including seniority & transfers, evaluations, layoffs & recalls, discipline & termination, & payroll-deducted union dues."
This is huge news! From the ballot box to the bargaining table, @DFT231 members fought hard for this TA which includes items “we dreamed about at the negotiating table.” https://t.co/LOLkAjxXrR
Trump's rambling, rageful speech is a reminder that he's unfit for the White House. A President must honor the rule of law not undermine it. He rants against a legal system he has often navigated well. He is a convicted felon & his lies won't change that. https://t.co/RxfG5NQNFU
