A Day of Solidarity

The labor movement has always been about more than contracts. From the factory floors to the hospital wards, it has always been about dignity, justice, and the promise of a better future. Educators carry that tradition. We fight for safe classrooms, fair pay, and the resources every child deserves. When we stand up, we show our students how to stand up for what is right, and for what they deserve. 

Today, this fight is even more urgent. The federal government is cutting school meal programs, stripping resources from classrooms, and targeting immigrant families. In these moments, it has been our educators on the front lines, organizing to protect students and defending their right to learn in safe, stable schools. 

When four hedge fund managers make more than all the kindergarten teachers combined, we know it’s time for us to fight back and organize.  Stand with our fellow union members across the state by joining a Labor Day event this weekend, and continue this proud tradition of justice.
