Fight for the public schools all children deserve banner

Advocating for Change

In every corner of America, we’re with you, fighting for our students. Fighting for our future.
We need to dismantle unjust systems. We need to fully fund public schools. We need to hold our elected leaders accountable to our communities. And we need your help to make it happen.
Ready to help us improve classroom conditions, secure school funding, and advance social and racial justice for all? Here’s how you can get involved.

NEA EdJustice

NEA is growing the movement to win education justice for our students, schools, and communities.

Action Center

We’ll advocate for fully-funded public schools. We’ll dismantle unjust systems. We’ll give our students the opportunities they need to succeed. Help us make it happen.

Educator Pay & Benefits

NEA helps build collective action for competitive pay, health benefits, and retirement security so we can attract and retain the best educators for our students.

Every Student Succeeds Act

The Every Student Succeeds Act mandates that the people who know students best—their educators, families, communities—can shape their future. Now it’s time to make sure lawmakers and policy leaders hear us, and help us make our schools exceptional.

COVID-19: Creating Safe and Just Schools

NEA is here to ensure we rebuild schools with an emphasis on equity, return to the classroom safely, protect the most vulnerable students, and help educators navigate their rights and responsibilities amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
Member Kimberly Eckert
It is our job, and the community’s job, and it’s the school’s job, and it’s the country’s job to make sure that kids—all kids—have their best shot.
