For nearly 30 years, including 12 as a TRS board member, Tom Brown’s efforts have helped all UFT members achieve a financially secure retirement. That’s why on February 11, the UFT Delegate Assembly endorsed Tom for reelection with 83% of the vote. Read why the UFT supports Tom for the upcoming May 13 TRS elections: bit.ly/3OPrD1h

Another beautiful afternoon talking to voters with @CarlMichaelW, this time to close out early voting with @rweingarten and @UFT. Our educators know what it takes to serve New Yorkers. That’s why they’re joining so many of us in supporting Carl, a true public servant, for Council District 3.

Yesterday’s Community Food Expo showed what community care looks like in action—distributing 500+ lbs of fresh produce to hundreds of families. Grateful to PS 19Q, @UFT United Community Schools, our partners, and my team. Food justice is dignity, access, and health. 🥗

Reminder: as educators our pensions are protected. The only people who can actually make decisions about our pensions are the elected TRS trustees. For over 100 years the TRS has made choices on how to maintain our pension system with one guiding principle: keep our pensions strong. That commitment continues. Don't let anyone mislead you. Our pension is guaranteed by the New York State constitution.

We will not be silent. Join the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, the New York Immigration Coalition and union and community members from across the city as we come together to commemorate International Workers’ Day. May Day is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of workers throughout history who fought for safety, dignity and justice on the job. Today, we carry that legacy forward. We stand united in our commitment to building a better future for ALL workers. Our solidarity is our strength. Together, we are part of a global movement standing up to the forces that seek to undermine workers’ rights and freedoms.

With starting salaries of just $32,500, too many paraprofessionals can’t afford to live in the city they serve. That’s why our Council has reintroduced the RESPECT Act and is working hard to get you the pay you deserve. Today and every day, I’m proud to stand with @UFT and the nearly 200,000 educators serving our students and schools.

President Mulgrew advocated for our paraprofessional RESPECT bill at this morning’s annual City Council breakfast. Each year we present our city budget priorities directly to council members at UFT Headquarters. City Council Speaker Julie Menin echoed her support for the RESPECT check during her address. All of us are united and we're locked in until we get this over the finish line! Now if we could just get a state budget…

On Saturday, UFT hosted a Pension Expo at UFT Headquarters. 💲TRS Chair Tom Brown and trustees Victoria Lee and Christina McGrath spoke to members about preparing for retirement at any stage in your career and shared what the TRS does to protect our pensions. Economist Teresa Ghilarducci gave a keynote speech about the importance of retirement security and expanding pensions, saying "We see the value in dignified old age."👏 Thanks to all who joined us to take control of their financial future with the TRS board!

We now have a calendar for next school year! Finalizing this calendar presented some challenges, especially since the school year for UFT members doesn't begin until Tuesday, September 8. The calendar features the legal minimum of 180 combined instructional and PD days. This year, Election Day will be remote instruction. We’ll also have an 11-day spring break like this year. See the full calendar here: schools.nyc.gov/calendar
