Democrats with a slim House majority vs. Republicans with a slim House majority
To learn how you can support librarians and defend the right to read, join the Unite Against Book Bans campaign led by the American Library Association at uniteagainstbookbans.org.
Dear Moms, Gov Youngkin, IWN, and MfL say you have rights- unless your kid is of color, has learning barriers, is on the spectrum, has medical issues, is LGBTQIA, or gets pregnant. Their motto #RightsforMeandMine #NoRightsforYouandYours
Revealed: The average voucher family moving from public to private schools makes $128,507. Private school vouchers help the wealthiest Iowans. #ialegis
Diocesan schools hiking tuition to cash in off the #schoolvouchers subsidy, other private schools taking it out of employee tuition discounts. #IAed adding more data to what we’ve long known from other states as vouchers kick off this month. axios.com/local/des-moin…
Rail workers tried to sound the alarm, over and over, that their working conditions were not safe and the consequences of poor management and the rail bosses’ greed could be deadly. As a result, East Palestine, Ohio has been poisoned and left for dead.
Let's give public school teachers a raise.
🚨 ALERT: New House GOP bill would abolish the IRS and replace federal income tax with a sales tax. The fake Fair Tax Act will get a floor vote as a concession to holdouts during House Speaker negotiations. The bill is a tax cut for the wealthy and a tax hike on working people.
I won't engage with edugrifter who's been lurking, but will point out that Iowans once cared enough about our "government schools" that we celebrated them on our state quarter. #NoVouchersIA
Glenn Youngkin hired a January 6th rioter who assaulted a police officer. Pass it on.
#Virginia is far behind when it comes to #TeacherPay - we'd have to increase teacher salaries by 10.32% in the 2023-2024 school year just to reach the national average! It is time for us to do better and pay our teachers more!
The fact that 71% of the public approves of unions is a reminder that THE REASON UNIONIZATION IS LOW IS NOT THAT WORKERS DON'T WANT UNIONS.

Today @ColumbusEA educators and their community are striking for better learning conditions, smaller class sizes, and well-rounded curriculum for their students that includes art, music and P.E. instruction. RT to show your support! #ColumbusStudentsDeserve
We are in a new era of the labor movement. Our teachers and NEA have always understood the power in moving our nation forward.
"We all want to be back with our kids," said Jabari Brown, a Special Ed teacher at Sanford Middle School. "But in order to move forward, we have to be out here, we have to continue to be strong. It's time to get what kids need. We're not going to stop until we get that."
Over half of teachers want to leave the profession early, NEA poll finds : npr.org/2022/02/01/107…
All workers deserve a $15 minimum wage, but who benefits is not just who you think.

Happy Friday, friends! We're less than one week away from our @pleasetouch union election, and we're ready to vote YES for a seat at the table and a voice in improving our pay, benefits, and working conditions. Today, Camille, Marlo, Katie, and Ryker share why they support PTMU.
Educator retention is one of my top priorities. That's why today we relaunched a grant opportunity of $100 million for schools and local education agencies to address COVID-19 recovery and mitigation efforts. Our schools have been through so much these gn.ecivis.com/GO/gn_redir/T/……
Did you know? Gov Reynolds paid an outside firm $1 million to write the 1500 page government reorganization bill. That's not democracy. #impeachreynolds
More than 100 Ankeny teachers stand outside tonight’s school board meeting bc they are concerned about the proposed benefits package. Negotiations are ongoing, but some say a large percentage of teachers will leave the district if the contract agreement goes through. @KCCINews
We are facing a real shortage of nurses, teachers, and cops — and I hear it everywhere I go. That’s why I want to put up to $2,500 directly in the pocket of each new teacher, nurse, and police officer each year for three years.
Teaching is one of the hardest jobs in this country – and one of the most important. It’s not enough to give teachers praise. We ought to give them a raise.
As Indigenous and Deaf person. I’ve experienced racism, language deprivation, communication barriers, police brutality, survivor, victim from raped, and sexism. I am still stand strong today. That’s why I am speak out for those who are voiceless or ignored✊🏾✊🏾

.@nytimes would be nothing without its amazing journalists and staff that work so hard to break news and inform readers. That is why today, I am not engaging with NYT or its platforms in solidarity with @nytimesGuild members.
To our readers: We did not make this decision lightly. We are deeply committed to the success of the @nytimes. We also know that we produce our best work when we feel valued and are treated equitably. Thank you for standing by us today.
We've been without a contract @nytimes for nearly 2 years. Management is offering pay raises that really amount to pay cuts. We're fed up, and we're walking out Thursday for 24 hours.
You are all Queen Bees in our hearts, but we are sick of management’s games. Stand with us on the digital picket line!

These students standing up for the dignity, respect, and civil rights protections of their fellow students - for their LGBTQ friends and classmates - is inspiring.
