Congratulations to our amazing president @marisolgarciaaz.bsky.social on being named to the Power 50 — Capitol Times' annual list of the changemakers who hold the power and influence to shape Arizona's present and future. There's power in a union — and Arizona educators aren't afraid to use it. 💪

During this fall’s elections, union educators fought hard to pass bonds and overrides to fund safe schools and great programs. @azcentral.com spoke to local leaders in the Phoenix Union, Phoenix Elementary, Isaac, and Deer Valley districts about what the results mean to them. Read their stories 👇
azcentral.com
Valley voters backed school bonds, overrides. What does that mean for public education?
Many school districts across the Valley saw huge wins among voters with the majority of funding questions on Tuesday's ballot on track to pass.

“It’s a clear indicator that the lack of investments in our public schools results in quality educators leaving the profession,” Arizona Education Association president @marisolgarciaaz.bsky.social said.

ICE is targeting our schools and terrorizing our communities, and we are already seeing the impacts. Students deserve safe and stable schools. Prop 50 is helps fight us back against these attacks and protect our communities. ✅ Vote #YESonProp50

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

As an elected union leader & veteran history educator, I live in a mental spiral of both fear & hope. We have seen this before, attacks on the public good & the vulnerable, the racism & fear-mongering. And we know the antidote, solidarity, collective action, & disruption. Y’all stretch, it’s time. ✊🏽
