Unions don’t just fight for fair pay and safe workplaces—we also give families and educators the tools they need. From lesson plans to literacy programs to multilingual supports, these resources strengthen schools and communities. #WorkersDeserve #LaborDay #UnionStrong

Oh hey, that’s me! I was honored to talk about the importance of investing in teachers & public schools and hope in the future of Pennsylvania while representing @PFT400 at the @AFTPA Conference in July!

Thanks to our people-powered movement, our campaign has all the momentum. We’ve proven that when we come together — across race, class, religion, age, every line used to divide us — that we are unstoppable. We’re ready to turn out every vote to keep building a city for all.
