Dear JOHN,

I am honored to introduce myself as the new Chair of Educated We Stand.

For more than 20 years, I’ve fought for students, families, and
educators—first as a special education teacher, then as a union leader, and now
as Vice President of the American Federation of Teachers.

I am also the past president of United Teachers of Dade (UTD), the largest
teachers union in the southeastern United States. I proudly served as UTD
president for nine years, from 2016 to 2025, where I led efforts to secure the
largest teacher pay increases in Miami-Dade’s history through two successful
countywide referendums.

My mission has always been the same: to ensure every child has access to a
high-quality education, and every educator has the respect and resources they
need to make that possible.

Now, I’m taking that mission to Educated We Stand because I know what’s at
stake. Moms for Liberty and their extremist allies are doing everything they
can to dismantle public education. They are running for school boards, trying
to silence teachers, and pushing a dangerous agenda into our classrooms.

But here’s the good news: we can beat them—and we already have.

In 2024 and 2025, Educated We Stand helped elect education champions to school
boards across the country, stopping Moms for Liberty’s extremist candidates in
their tracks. And this year and next year, we’re going to do it again—bigger
and stronger than ever before.

That’s why I’m asking you to stand with me today as a Founding Donor for this
next chapter of our movement. Your support will help us recruit candidates,
organize parents and teachers, and win elections that protect the future of our
schools.

With gratitude,
Karla Hernández-Mats
