What an honor it was to join @neapresident.bsky.social at Barrett Elementary School to kick off American Education Week!
Come back soon!
I had the privilege of visiting Barrett Elementary with @neatoday.bsky.social colleagues to kick off #AEW2025! A heartfelt thank you to the cafeteria workers who welcomed me onto lunch duty and to every education support professional who does the work behind the scenes so our students can thrive.

What an honor to be a part of NEA and APS!
The National Education Association (NEA) kicked off American Education Week this morning at @barrettaps.bsky.social, serving school lunch, reading to students, and leading a hands-on cooking activity.

In addition, the NEA donated $5,000 to Barrett, and APS received a $10,000 donation.

That’s how many times more Starbucks’ CEO makes than the average @sbworkersunited.org barista.

Starbucks workers are fighting for a fair contract, and America’s unions stand with them in this fight against corporate greed. https://bit.ly/4oATdMu

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average worker makes. His total compensation last year was $97,813,843!

Enough is enough. It’s time to come to the bargaining table and give Starbucks baristas - who make the company’s profits possible - a fair contract.

When lawmakers don't fully fund our schools, the burden gets put on educators.

And it's just wrong. https://bsky.app/profile/neatoday.bsky.social/post/3lzoia2qyfm2f
Educators spend $500–$900 of their own money on supplies each year. With inflation and tariffs driving prices higher, many are paying even more this back-to-school season.

"Lawmakers know what they have to do to close the gaps," says @neapresident.bsky.social
Rising Cost of School Supplies Increases Burden on Teachers | NEA
Educators continue to reach into their own pockets to pay for classroom materials, even as prices have spiked. What‘s behind the increase?

A new report from @epi.org finds that unions are not only good for their members, but they also benefit their communities. For example, median household incomes in high-union-density states are more than $12,000 higher, on average. www.epi.org/publication/...

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.

Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:

— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt

It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.
