           There are so many things I can say about @BeckyPringle, but let me just say this: She is going to put you to work, she is going to push, insist and convince you to do all you can for our students, our members, our public schools, and the social justice we so desperately need.

             All students deserve equitable access to opportunities that will determine the trajectory of their lives. The work of the U.S. Department of Education is to make the word “all” mean all. I look forward to working collaboratively with Dr. Cardona to make this a reality.

             There's much to work to undo the damage & havoc wreaked on public education by Betsy DeVos. @teachcardona will ensure that the federal govt’s role in education is providing access & opportunity for every student. He will defend ALL students’ civil rights & focus on their success.

             Thanks, Becky. It's always an honor to be able to advocate for students, their families & the professionals who dedicate their lives to serving them. We can & must make sure ALL students have what they need to be safe, healthy and to succeed! 
           ICYMI: my friend and former @NEAToday President @LilytheTeacher talked with @AllinWithChris about the challenges facing students, parents, and educators during the pandemic and the bright future of public education under @JoeBiden's leadership!

             When we elect Black and AAPI women like Vice President-elect @KamalaHarris, we show our Black, Brown, and Native babies what their futures can be! Her election is bigger than the office -- it’s setting up a better future for our children! Congratulations, Kamala! #NEAVotes

             I was invited to join @NEAToday because I had so many ideas and a big mouth. I've never looked back. Join us to transform your ideas into our collective voice #1u
          
           We’re facing challenges we never expected, and educators like you are rising to the occasion. But you shouldn’t have to do this alone. Becoming a member of NEA connects you with a movement of educators supporting each other:  https://t.co/hnYM3ejqV9

             Here's how you can bring #Edjustice to your school community. 
           A survey by @educationweek found that 81% of U.S. teachers support the Black Lives Matter movement. This is leading to putting race, equity and inclusion as part of the curriculum across grade levels.  https://t.co/7jhKtiSgaA

             This graphic says it all. Educators use personal funds to pay for books, markers, and the class hamster, we can't pay the cost of a pandemic! (But we do know who can:  https://t.co/6yEwssfZtg)

             I'm so proud to hear that Mark Jewell has been elected to the NEA Executive Committee. His commitment to the fight for racial, social, and economic justice for all of our members, students, schools, and communities is exactly what we need right now. Congratulations, Mark! 👏🏾 👏🏾
