We aren't afraid of ghosts and ghouls this spooky season, but we ARE afraid of the consequences for our children if Virginia doesn't take big steps to fully and fairly fund our public schools.

Counseling children that they should be ashamed of who they are, not good enough, or that they need to change themselves is cruel & shameful. It is also out of touch with the medical profession & results in mental health problems & suicides. It’s not hard to love & support kids
NEW from me: Religious counselors sue to overturn Virginia’s ban on conversion therapy for minors #VALeg

Our teachers are taking a huge pay penalty compared to college graduates in other professions, and Virginia is one of the states with the largest gaps. Learn more about the study:
epi.org
Despite a small improvement of 1.7% in teachers’ average weekly wages, the relative pay penalty between public school teachers and college graduates in other professions remains large.
Virginia teachers are still paid just 68 cents for every dollar paid to their peers in other professions, according to new analysis by @EconomicPolicy. We need to pay teachers better to attract and retain highly qualified professionals for our students

Labeling 70% of schools "off-track" & subjecting them to state control is yet another way to undermine our elected school boards & public school systems. If @GovernorVA really wanted to help schools, he'd support fully funding them w/ our surplus instead of promoting tax cuts.
Yesterday, the Board of Education adopted some terrible changes that are bad for VA students, parents, and educators. Here's why these changes are wrong for Virginia 🧵

I love welcoming new staff into our union at #GBSI24! This year is especially exciting as we're about to negotiate the first contract for FCPS employees in almost 50 years! Join the movement to win better pay, benefits, and working conditions by joining: https://t.co/iJe3xWHpJn!

One of the best ways to keep our nation moving forward is to give our workers a voice. As President, I’ll protect the freedom to organize, defend collective bargaining and sign the PRO Act into law.

Hell yeah Dolores Huerta speaking at the AFT convention. A labor icon! “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” SI SE PUEDE!
