Don't be fooled by different names—all these voter suppression bills have the same goal: block millions of eligible Americans from voting.
It's a coordinated attack on our democracy while they ignore real problems.

The solidarity today was powerful. What our members are asking for is righteous, it’s what our children and educators need. This fight is about fully staffed, stable schools, sustainable working conditions, strong special education services, and real protections for immigrant and unhoused students.

Today I was in San Francisco to be with our members as they go on strike for the schools students deserve. From walking the picket line at James Lick Middle School, to meeting with the bargaining team, to joining educators, families, and community members at the rally, we showed the strength of SF.
