WATCH: Tens of thousands of AFT members, families & allies came together in peaceful rallies across the country to say loud and clear: power belongs to the people—not to kings, billionaires, or parades of ego. #NoKingsDay

.@120strong President Sarah Fightmaster Bayerle is right. It’s our job as educators to teach our communities about the consequences of these cuts, and to help mobilize parents and activists to stop them. #ProtectOurKids lex18.com/news/covering-kent…

Federal funds are vital to every KY school district.
But because it's especially targeted to kids with the greatest needs, this funding is most important in higher-poverty districts, most of which are rural in KY.
This map shows the districts that could be hit hardest by cuts.

NEW: U.S Dept of Education funding is a substantial part of public school budgets in KY, suppling over $1 billion a year for:
- school meals
- low-income students
- children with disabilities
- and more.
Cutting these funds would harm our kids, our schools and our families.

To build a better future for our kids, we have to build up public education, not tear it down.
KY 120 United AFT has begun our transition from Twitter (its real name) to Bluesky. Beginning March 1st, 2025, we will use that platform instead of this one. Please join us there. @AFTunion @AFLCIO @rweingarten @LizShuler @aflcioky

Black people have shaped this nation’s work history—and the nation itself. This year’s #BlackHistoryMonth theme, African Americans & Labor, gives us an opportunity to shine a light on this story & celebrate those who are carrying it forward.

I've often said that diversity is an asset, not a liability. Everyone deserves to feel welcome and valued in our New Kentucky Home.

Today, we observe #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, joining people around the world to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. The UN General Assembly designated January 27 —the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as an annual day of commemoration.

Working families are struggling to make ends meet while billionaires & corporations rake in record profits. Giving those at the top more tax breaks won't lower costs for families, it will just make our economy even more rigged.
Renewing the #TrumpTaxCuts is a scam.
