Nobody wins with these cuts. Not our students. Not workers. Not working families. Certainly not Harrisburg Republicans. These cuts are an attack on working people. We need a budget that funds SEPTA and the other public services we ALL depend on www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio...

Today’s mass shooting in West Philly is devastating. Our city is riddled by the gun violence epidemic. Gun violence is a moral issue & our leaders in Harrisburg keep choosing the wrong side. We are keeping those affected by this senseless tragedy in our thoughts and prayers

SAVE THE DATE: On March 4th, we're joining @aftunion.bsky.social locals, labor siblings, elected leaders, & allies for a nationwide day of action to protest the Trump-Musk assault on public education. More info to come, stay tuned! www.aft.org/ProtectOurKids #ProtectOurKids #PHLed
A Philadelphia Federation of Teachers flyer promoting a March 4 day of action to protect our kids: The Trump administration wants to slash education and healthcare funding
to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Their plan to gut the U.S. Department of
Education (DOE) and shift funding to block grants would:
• Rob 26 million students in poverty of critical services.
• Strip 7.5 million students with disabilities of special education support.
• Eliminate career and technical education for 12 million students—
threatening future job opportunities.
• Cut Medicaid and student loans, leaving 10.3 million people without
healthcare and 10 million working-class families without college access.

On March 4, educators, students, parents, and community allies will take
action to demand support for public schools and oppose harmful cuts. Join
the movement by urging lawmakers to stop the cuts, raising awareness
of the impact, mobilizing communities, making headlines with stories and
events, and organizing locally to defend vital services.
Join us on March 4 and stand up to protect our kids! Visit www.AFT.org/
ProtectOurKids for resources and details: https://www.aft.org/ProtectOurKidsMeme from the movie Mean Girls showing three characters in a convertible car with the text: Get in besties - On March 4th, we're going to protect our kids
