Educators know AI brings both risks and opportunities. That’s why NEA and AFT are advancing contract language and guidance to make sure AI supports—not undermines—teaching and learning.

Despite recent modifications, the core purpose of the Senate Reconciliation Bill remains the same: more tax breaks for the ultra-rich, less support for children and working families.

Medicaid is the 4th-largest funding source for public schools, providing billions for services students and families rely on. Yet proposed cuts in Congress would devastate schools and communities. Here's how: buff.ly/BtqYiR7

The anti-DEI portal is gone. 💪 Collective power is why affiliation with a national union is so important.
🙌 VICTORY: The infamous "End DEI portal", which was built to intimidate teachers who didn't agree with the Trump administration's anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion positions, has been shut down.

Does your union have leaders in Washington, standing up and speaking out for educator and student rights in this moment? If not, you might be in the wrong union. 🤔
Yesterday at the Capitol, I stood with students, educators, parents, and retirees to advocate for the safe and well-funded schools our students need and deserve. We will not allow harmful policies to jeopardize their future. Not on our watch.
