It’s the final push! We've been phone banking, emailing, door-knocking, & connecting with members. As we approach the last few hours of voting, know that your support has meant so much. Let's make the change we wish to see in our union. 📷 Steven Montgomery #coalitionfortruth

Whenever POC run for the leadership of the MFT they are sabotaged by whichever status-hopping leader of white teachers who wants the job. Teachers of color don't have a chance with this group. It's so easy to start whisper campaigns against them and paint them as troublemakers.

And we're live! Tune in now to hear from Charles Luter and Steven Montgomery.

Tonight @KelleherMaureen will talk to Black educators in Minneapolis who are trying to make their union more responsive to teachers of color. Join the conversation at 5 PM Central. youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Av-r…

Thank you, @BernadeiaJ and @SondraSamuels for bringing attention to the need for change in the MFT. Our students and our educators deserve better.

What can we learn from the Minneapolis educator strike? Don't miss this insightful conversation featuring The Coalition for Truth slate member, Arielle Rocca. TONIGHT from 7-8 p.m. on Zoom. Register: advancingequitycoalition.org/fireside_chat_…

A reminder that MFT voting began this week! You should have received an email in your district email inbox with directions on how to vote. As we talk with members, we're even more inspired to create the collective change our students and members need.

Take a look at this @edu_post coverage of our joint press conference with the @NAACPmpls. Hear from NAACP President Cynthia Wilson & MFT Presidential candidate Alexis Mann about why it's time to demand transparency and hold current MFT leadership accountable. #coalitionfortruth
