TOMORROW is the last day of in-person early voting! Most polling sites are open until 5 p.m.
Let's get out and vote! This election is way too critical to sit on the sidelines. We can't let our Commonwealth and country go backward.

Counseling children that they should be ashamed of who they are, not good enough, or that they need to change themselves is cruel & shameful. It is also out of touch with the medical profession & results in mental health problems & suicides. It’s not hard to love & support kids

Labeling 70% of schools "off-track" & subjecting them to state control is yet another way to undermine our elected school boards & public school systems.
If @GovernorVA really wanted to help schools, he'd support fully funding them w/ our surplus instead of promoting tax cuts.

One of the best ways to keep our nation moving forward is to give our workers a voice.
As President, I’ll protect the freedom to organize, defend collective bargaining and sign the PRO Act into law.

Hell yeah Dolores Huerta speaking at the AFT convention. A labor icon!

We were honored to be able to talk to leaders and rank and filers who made the biggest public sector union win in decades possible.
Listen to our conversation with them about how, and why, they organized Fairfax County Schools

The Fairfax County Public Schools drive, where workers voted this month to form a union with 27,500 members, “elevates the voice of the rank-and-file employees, and that’s a really exciting opportunity,” school social worker Fran Lewandoski told @joe_dmh: labornotes.org/2024/06/big-u…

Fairfax county public school teachers live elsewhere to afford housing and custodial workers take on multiple jobs to make ends meet. The union drive “elevates the voice of the rank-and-file employees," said social worker Fran Lewandoski. By @joe_dmh: labornotes.org/2024/06/big-u…

Never underestimate the will of people to strive for a voice at work, no matter the odds. FEU United's educators are devoted to their students and their work; they should have had the right to collective bargaining long ago. I have heard them express these aspirations for years. Their struggle and faith paid off. aft.org/news/massive-educati…

This week, workers in Virginia’s Fairfax County Public Schools voted to unionize, forming a union of 27,500 teachers, custodians, teaching assistants, bus drivers, and more. The vote has created one of the largest K-12 unions on the East Coast.
