Thank You

After countless hours of phone calls, texting, and lit drops—building on nearly four years of organizing and action—we’ve delivered a decisive win for students, public schools, and democracy.

We Won Because of You

Because of educators like you, we’ll have a new Secretary of Education who actually respects educators and their students. Because of educators like you, we’ll have a Secretary of Labor who will protect workers and the expand collective bargaining rights that we rely on to advocate for stronger public schools.
