KY 120 United-AFT

WATCH: Tens of thousands of AFT members, families & allies came together in peaceful rallies across the country to say loud and clear: power belongs to the people—not to kings, billionaires, or parades of ego. #NoKingsDay

Wow! The day is not even close to being done, but look at some of these photos from #NoKings rallies across the United States! Keep tagging us in your photos on your favorite social media platforms. We are so proud to be in this together with you.

We did that.

.@120strong President Sarah Fightmaster Bayerle is right. It’s our job as educators to teach our communities about the consequences of these cuts, and to help mobilize parents and activists to stop them. #ProtectOurKids lex18.com/news/covering-…

Federal funds are vital to every KY school district. But because it's especially targeted to kids with the greatest needs, this funding is most important in higher-poverty districts, most of which are rural in KY. This map shows the districts that could be hit hardest by cuts.

NEW: U.S Dept of Education funding is a substantial part of public school budgets in KY, suppling over $1 billion a year for: - school meals - low-income students - children with disabilities - and more. Cutting these funds would harm our kids, our schools and our families.

To build a better future for our kids, we have to build up public education, not tear it down.

Working people deserve a Department of Labor that works for them. We will stand up to anyone trying to harm working people. That starts with @DOGE.

KY 120 United AFT has begun our transition from Twitter (its real name) to Bluesky. Beginning March 1st, 2025, we will use that platform instead of this one. Please join us there. @AFTunion @AFLCIO @rweingarten @LizShuler @aflcioky

🚀 This #BlackHistoryMonth, WTU honors African Americans and Labor, including the 100th anniversary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters & Maids—the first Black union in the AFL. ✊🏾 📢 Plus, we’re proud to announce our new 5-year contract with DCPS, strengthening equity & excellence in education! #WTU #DCPS #BlackExcellence #LaborHistory #redfored #realsolutions

Black people have shaped this nation’s work history—and the nation itself. This year’s #BlackHistoryMonth theme, African Americans & Labor, gives us an opportunity to shine a light on this story & celebrate those who are carrying it forward. Learn more: aft.org/black-history-…

I've often said that diversity is an asset, not a liability. Everyone deserves to feel welcome and valued in our New Kentucky Home.

Lawmakers return to Frankfort on Tuesday to resume the 2025 legislative session. Here are key dates to remember for the second part of #kyga25! For the full session calendar, which is subject to change, visit: legislature.ky.gov/Documents/25RS….

Today, we observe #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, joining people around the world to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. The UN General Assembly designated January 27 —the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as an annual day of commemoration.

Working families are struggling to make ends meet while billionaires & corporations rake in record profits. Giving those at the top more tax breaks won't lower costs for families, it will just make our economy even more rigged. Renewing the #TrumpTaxCuts is a scam.

We hoped to never have to do it but here’s an educators guide on preparing immigrant youth and families for an ICE raid. Please read and share. It’s also available in Spanish and Korean. aft.org/our-community/…

Universal pre-K will strengthen our education system; it’ll grow our workforce; and it’ll boost the entire economy. It’s time to make this a reality for our kids.

We love our pro-public education, pro-union governor & our union presidents! @GovAndyBeshear @AndyBeshearKY @rweingarten @LizShuler @AFTunion @AFLCIO
