COVID-19: Take Action

President Biden listened to us. His new initiative to prioritize educators for the COVID-19 vaccine is one key to protecting our students and educators during in-person instruction. But we also need resources to adapt our schools, campuses, and services.

Action 1: Write Congress

Urge Congress to pass the American Rescue Plan, with $170 billion to ensure safe and just schools for all students—from kindergarten to college. We need to protect students and educators with proven safety strategies—plus access to vaccines and frequent testing and tracing—and we need the funding to do it.

Action 2: Get Vaccinated

Educators and school personnel in K-12 schools now have priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine in all US states, territories, and the District of Columbia

Action 3: BUILD COLLECTIVE ACTION — BECOME AN NEA COMMUNITY ALLY

Together, we will advocate for legislation to help students, educators, and public schools navigate the fallout from COVID-19. But we need your support. Become a community ally for $25 and help fund our efforts. Join today.
