John, We're looking forward to seeing you at tonight's webinar. If you haven't already, please be sure to register!

John,

On Tuesday, March 4, I hope you will take part in actions happening across America calling on lawmakers to protect our kids and to strengthen, not decimate, our public schools. I wanted to invite you to a webinar this coming Wednesday, Feb. 19, that describes how we are fighting back against attacks on kids and schools, and how you can help to stand up and coordinate the actions on March 4, when we’ll march forth for our public schools and to protect our kids.

Affiliates across the country will be participating in actions, rallies, and events to protect our kids and show our support for public education.

On Wednesday at 7p.m. Eastern, we’ll share resources and hear from AFT members already committed to our day of action. Please register for it here.

The stakes are high. President Trump and Elon musk are swinging a wrecking ball at public education. Our kids risk losing special education services, extra academic support for students living in poverty, mental health services, after-school programs, and nobody wants Elon Musk rifling through private personal data. That’s why we are gearing up to show the public and elected officials that we’re here to protect our kids and the public schools that provide them opportunities for a better life.

A new poll from the Associated Press came out just a few days ago that demonstrates Americans don’t want cuts to public education. What President Trump and Musk are trying to do is unpopular. So it’s up to us to show up for our kids and our schools. We need this day of action to include events nationwide, which is why we want to meet to discuss it now.

On March 4, we’ll march forth for our public schools and to protect our kids.

Please join us for our webinar on Wednesday to fight for the public schools our families need.

In unity,
Randi Weingarten
AFT President
