Happening now!! Tune in to see Becky Pringle, Sheryl Lee Ralph of Abbott Elementary, and Anna King (National PTA). fb.watch/knDo7O_0bF/?mi…

"Why do we not value our country more that we make sure that teachers get respectable pay for the job that they're doing?" #AbbottElementary star sheryl lee ralph speaks in favor of teachers during town hall. Eva Pilgrim has more.

We banned mine waste disposal in Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed – protecting fisheries Native People have relied on for millennia. Because of it, and tireless advocates, this priceless resource will be protected for future generations. It's impossible to put a price on that.

We can transform our schools to meet the many needs of their communities, says Becky Pringle.

Teachers should not have to pick up a second or third job to survive. If we want to appreciate teachers, we need to raise salaries for teachers nationwide.

Investing in our educators has never been more important.  President Biden’s budget includes an additional $342M focused specifically on supporting teachers.

I really wish rich, out-of-touch folks who nothing about education would just stop. 1) Read the fine print. THIS IS A GOVT VOUCHER PROGRAM. Voucher programs have not been shown to improve results for poor Black children because most cannot get into high-quality private schools.

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!! Congrats Fairfax Education Association ! This opens up a pathway for educators, students, parents and community members to have yet another powerful venue to fight for the supports our students and their educators need and deserve!

The educators and students across Texas have lost an indefatigable public education champion and warrior for racial and social justice. Sending my love to Richard’s family, all of TSTA, and everyone touched by his work, laughter, and love. I am saddened beyond words….
