The WTU Representative Assembly voted to stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers in their ULP strike. We encourage all of our members and allies to not cross the picket line for the duration of the strike. #NoContractNoCoffee
Starbucks Workers United@SBWorkersUnited

As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

DC's teachers can't do their jobs when children are traumatized, families are terrorized, and physical safety becomes an all-consuming focus. @WTUTeacher joins @ACLU_DC and several other plaintiffs to file suit against ICE over its harm to D.C. school communities.
Washington Teachers' Union, AFT Local #6@WTUTeacher

📢 Read the full story: newsweek.com/ice-suffers-bl… The Washington Teachers’ Union has joined a landmark federal lawsuit accusing ICE of racially motivated mass arrests near schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods in D.C. Educators say these raids are traumatizing students, driving families into hiding, and triggering an attendance crisis across the District. #WTU #DCPS #ICE #ImmigrationJustice

President Fuchs calls out DCPS for piling on responsibilities while ignoring the real causes of chronic absenteeism: housing instability, lack of healthcare, and underfunded schools. Teachers are expected to make phone calls, do home visits, and pass students who barely attend—all while juggling overcrowded classrooms and stolen planning time.
 📽️ Watch the full testimony and share if you believe educators deserve support—not blame. #WTU #DCPS #FundOurSchools #TeacherPower #AttendanceCrisis

So what we are not going to do is blame DC's young people for Trump's fascism. Fascists always blame the victim for their actions. Always. It can be a real event. It can be fake. It doesn't matter. Fascists will do what they want and justify it however they want. THAT IS FASCISM.

SCOOP: A working paper will be published tomorrow providing the first credible estimates of the effect of US teacher strikes. Do these labor stoppages work? Do they deliver gains for workers? Do they help or hurt students academically? I've been covering teacher unions for over a decade and there simply hasn't been information like this before vox.com/education/3687… (1/3)

One of the great benefits of being a public school educator in DC is having the power of a union behind you - a benefit I wish more of our charter school comrades had too. From one union member to another, I’m wishing the brave folks at Capital City best of luck. Solidarity! ✊🏼
Ben Williams@BenWilliamsDC

I’m proud to stand with other employees @CapitalCityPCS today in voting YES for representation in our local @AFTunion! Together we are strong!

BREAKING: We’re filing a lawsuit on behalf of the Arab Student Union at Jackson-Reed High School.  The school administration unlawfully censored the student club’s pro-Palestinian speech, and that's unacceptable. acludc.com/44ca9ze

Laura Fuchs (@DCWard7teacher) on the Mayor's cuts to DCPS local schools: "Explain to me how DCPS has gotten a “record” UPSFF, and is projecting an increase in 791 students enrolled in our schools can lead to a net 200+ Educators losing their jobs?" dccoreunion.org/post/laura-fuc…
