U.S. Supreme Court Attacks Workers- Teachers

Educator, With its decision in Janus v. AFSCME, the U.S. Supreme Court today turned its back on American workers—the educators, nurses, firefighters, police officers, and public servants who make our communities strong and safe. The Court’s ruling is a massive gift to the special interests and billionaires who already benefit from a system that is rigged in their favor and against the rights and freedoms of working people. They brought this case to silence our voice and make it more difficult to join together to advocate for our students and communities. But make no mistake: we will not be silent. We are organized and determined to stand together and fight for the resources our students need to succeed. Take the #RedForEd pledge and stand with NEA as we continue to build a strong union that advocates for the opportunity students need to succeed. Add your name > As we saw earlier this year in state after state that went #RedForEd, educators—joined by parents and community members—are a force to be reckoned with. We will do what it takes to roll back years of funding cuts and to make sure our students have up-to-date textbooks, desks and chairs that aren’t broken, the latest technology, and adequate school buildings. Now, we must continue to build this movement by coming together to advocate for students like never before. So whether you are an educator, parent, or community member, please show your support for strong public schools by taking the #RedForEd pledge today. Thank you for your continued involvement with the National Education Association. Your support of great public schools for every child matters more and more every day. In solidarity, Lily Eskelsen García President National Education Association
