DEAR NEA MEMBERS,
I am honored to serve as your president. United, we will reclaim public education as a common good and transform it into a racially and socially just system that actually prepares every student - not one, not some, but every single student - to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world. Onward!

FACE TO FACE WITH NEA MEMBERS
Shoulder to shoulder, hearts united, I was honored to join educators, parents, students, and neighbors at Maryland’s Takoma Park Middle School this spring, at one of hundreds of school walk-ins across the nation. Together, we will protect every student and public education. Together, we will ensure our students are not harmed by these dangerous cuts to services—we will fight every step of the way! We cannot allow billionaires to get tax breaks, while educators, nurses, and other public service workers are asked to pay more! Together, we are educating, organizing, and mobilizing—and we’re not done yet. Find out how you can help at nea.org/Protect.

Speak up!
Appreciate and be appreciated.
Rest. Recharge. Return.

What I’m Talking About: Solidarity
I recently joined thousands of Colorado Education Association members at the Colorado State Capitol, rallying for public schools and students. Together, we demanded the funding we know our schools, educators, and students need to succeed. This spring has seen so many events like this, with tens of thousands of educators, parents, students, siblings, friends, and neighbors, standing in solidarity. We will not only meet the challenges of today, we will organize for power to create the future our students and educators deserve. Unions are made for moments like this.
