Today—and every day—this president is focused on himself. Meanwhile, unions are consistently showing up to fight for economic opportunity for all families to have a better life. #HandsOff our Social Security, our public education, our healthcare, and our democracy. 🇺🇸

They want us to be silent. But we won’t be.
Because we know there’s no cavalry coming.
We are the cavalry.
And we’ll fight in the courts, in the streets and in our communities—because our kids, our jobs and our futures are worth fighting for.

“And that’s what the AFT’s 1.8 million members will continue to do: fight in the streets, in the courts and in Congress, to uphold both the law and the right of all workers to advocate for their collective interests and America’s future.”
The administration is trying to send a message that unless you please the president, unions will not be tolerated. But the labor movement’s job is to act on behalf of the people: those we serve and those we represent. www.aft.org/press-releas...

@ky120unitedaft.bsky.social Special Education Paraeducator Dan Isenstein is right! "As far as the impact of proposed federal budget cuts on our kids, defunding won't 'make America great again.' It will just take us back to a time when we were indifferent and cruel toward kids with special needs."
