"IDEA exists today because people organized, resisted and refused to accept policies that discounted disabled lives. Its future requires the same vigilance." Read more from @sharemylesson on the past 50 years of IDEA & how we can protect its future.

Let’s celebrate Friday with some music! 🥁 🎶 @fedingram joined students and teachers at Turie T. Small Elementary in Daytona Beach, FL to give away books and teach a music class. Check out this excellent percussion practice from the 4th and 5th graders. #PublicSchoolProud

Thank you Turie T. Small Elementary for inviting @FedIngram to join you for class today. We hope you enjoy the books! #PublicSchoolProud @FedIngram

Ended my visit to St. Croix AFT with two school visits. Our members are as passionate as ever but they need help - building and safety issues persist, funding is a major issue but the commitment is unwavering in spite of underserved conditions. @AFTunion stands in solidarity!

Happy Diwali to our members who bring knowledge, light, and goodness to their communities.

The start of the Neighbors & Labor March Together for #NoKings in Portland, OR ✊❌👑 @OFNHP @AFTOregon @OregonNurses @OSEA6732

Imagine pardoning people who stormed the Capitol and assaulted police officers on January 6 but trying to depict this as scary?! 😂@Local_802_AFM Have a fun, peaceful, and empowering day with your community, everyone! #NoKings

When techs can’t afford the very healthcare they deliver, that’s not efficiency, it’s exploitation. When nurses are forced to choose between their patients and a meal, that’s not care, it’s cruelty. - @OFNHP Pres Sarina Roher at the Portland #NoKings rally ✊

.@AFTunion #NoKings #Tallahassee Today thousands marched in community with millions across this country to again speak truth to power… These unprecedented times require unique and extraordinary measures and today is one of the days that people are drawing the line in the sand.

“We! Love! America!” “We! Will fight! For America!” Tallahassee isn’t here to back down. They’re here to say: #NoKings 🇺🇸

We know that education is a pillar of democracy - and we’re glad to see Tallahassee families agree. Thank you @fedingram for speaking truth to power. #NoKings

Right, @fedingram! As educators and public workers, we have a responsibility to talk to our neighbors and build community. #NoKings

"How do we make state lawmakers more responsive to what the citizens of the state need - which is a good public education system, good public schools, that respect their educators?" - @rweingarten Answer: We organize. Welcome the AFPENC to the AFT family! @PENCvoice

In East St. Louis, IL, @IFTUnion educators, @fedingram, and community partners toured schools to see how wraparound supports & CTE programs are changing lives. https://t.co/vI9XTU0vxi #PublicSchoolProud #CTEworks @iftaft

Teachers do more than teaching reading, writing, and 'rithmatic. They open students' eyes to what's possible, and give them the tools they need to thrive. Thank you to all of our educators for all you do for students, families, and communities! #WorldTeachersDay @EduInt
