Welcome to Day 3 of the NCUEA Summer Meeting! #NCUEA #1u

Congratulations to every @massteacher educator who helped make the Fair Share tax reality. Children will have fully-funded schools, their families will have better public transit, and their communities will have safer roads because of your hard work! masslive.com/politics/2024/…

As I told the many leaders gathered at NEA's annual Leadership Summit, thank you for using your inward power and passion to take outward action. Thank you for continuing to create a world that is more inclusive and safe for our students and educators—and more just for us all.

Once again, Congress attempts disenfranchise, disincentivize, and discriminate against public educators. PSLF was designed to even the scales when an EDM costs the same as a MBA, but pays $100k less on average in Massachusetts. nea.org/advocating-for…

“We claim to deeply care about children, but ignoring the struggles their teachers face suggests that we care so long as it doesn’t cramp our personal lifestyle.” bostonglobe.com/2024/02/25/opi…

“Critics of the strike reveal their ignorance for what teachers in Newton, throughout Massachusetts, and across the country are really fighting for: respect for their profession and the resources for the learning conditions that their students deserve.” bostonglobe.com/2024/02/16/opi…

A better title for this article: “Unions Hold MA Accountable for Gender Discrimination”. @NewtonTeachers @AndoverEducator @massteacher

Massachusetts teacher unions are increasingly willing to strike to get paid parental leave because state lawmakers didn’t require municipalities to join the state paid parental leave program. bostonglobe.com/2024/02/06/met… via @BostonGlobe

We support our Newton Union siblings! Mayor Fuller- let’s get this DONE!

We're encouraging all of our members to wear their BTU blues tomorrow in solidarity with the @NewtonTeachers Create signs, take photos and share them with us at photos@btu.org. Tag @NewtonTeachers @RuthanneFuller to show that the NTA has the entire labor movement at their backs.

Where is @MayorFuller ??? We’re waiting!!!!

An excerpt from @myrtlebaptist Sunday morning sermon on Isaiah 58 and the NTA strike. Reverend Crowley: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Watch the full Sunday service: youtube.com/live/dRW5xPSNi…
