In my video, I reflect on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks—honoring those we lost, including 40 PEF members. Plus, I share updates from our union’s work to guarantee AI safety and privacy in schools and a new initiative opening real pathways from school into careers. youtu.be/deeaozqmolA

Let’s go, California! Governor Newsom and our Democrats in the California legislature have met the moment and are fighting the GOP’s reckless attacks on democracy. @thedlcc.bsky.social is proud to support their strong and speedy response.

Diversity in colleges & universities teaches all of us about tolerance & inclusion. These are skills that help people become good citizens, to know & understand one another, & to become engaged, educated members of society and the workforce. Why would anyone oppose that?

If you close your eyes and just listen to Abbott’s actions you would not believe this was the United States…Abbott is acting like a dictator, not a patriot. The Dems are trying to slow down the abuse of power. Abbott knows Trump’s actions are not popular so he’s trying to change the rules mid game.

In the streets & on the shop floor, in union halls and the halls of Congress, this Labor Day we’re going to show the billionaires who we are and how we fight. #WorkersDeserve

TX Senators left their state to stop an antidemocratic, unconstitutional vote to redraw TX congressional districts. And we’ve got their backs. On the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act legislators convened in MA to fight for our democracy and stand up against efforts to silence voters nationwide.

Make no mistake, Elon Musk - a billionaire who doesn't have to worry about his retirement - is trying to take away Social Security. But we're not going to let him. It's we the people who are going to stand up like we did today in White Plains.
