Friend,

Across the country, thousands of public employees â teachers, first responders, law enforcement officers, and more â are trapped under union dominance. Â

Their dues are siphoned off to support political agendas they donât believe in, and candidates they donât support. Â

They face intimidation when they question union leadership.Â

And too often, unions put institutional power ahead of the wellbeing of workers. Â

Public employees deserve choice, freedom, and fair treatmentânot mandates enforced through pressure and politics.Â

My organization, Americans for Fair Treatment, is committed to ensuring public sector workers are empowered to know and defend their constitutional rights against union coercion.Â

We educate public employees about their right to decline union membership and stop dues from funding union politics. Â

We protect them from retaliation when they stand up to union pressure.Â

And today Iâm hoping youâll join us with your gift of $25, $50, $100, or more to break the grip of the union machine over these employees. ([link removed] Â

Friend, let me tell you about Alex, a 5th-grade teacher who found himself trapped in a union system he no longer recognized.Â

Above: Alex and his wife

Alex became a teacher because he felt called to the classroom. Â

When he stepped into a leadership role in his local National Education Association-affiliated union, he expected transparency and collaboration.Â

Instead, he encountered vague directives, groupthink, and a closed-door culture that silenced dissent.Â

In 2020, as schools debated reopening, Alex watched union leadership reverse course with no clear explanation, demanding new funding for undefined safety concerns without a plan for students who would be left behind. Â

The union put its institutional interests ahead of students and teachers.Â

When Alex asked for clarity, he was met with circular logic and stonewalling. Â

As a teacher, he knew that posting homework online wasn't teaching. Â

It wasn't what his students deserved, nor was it his calling. Â

But the union prioritized its political agenda over educational outcomes.Â

Then came the political pressure. Â

His union, via the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), regularly sent out endorsed candidate lists and used member dues to support campaigns Alex opposed. Â

He hadn't become an educator to bankroll union political activity. He wanted to support educators, not union agendas.Â

In 2021, Alex found Americans for Fair Treatment. Â

With our help, he and his wife broke free from the union, joined the Keystone Teachers Association, and reclaimed control over their careers and their paychecks.Â

Five years later, Alex is thriving, and he has inspired colleagues to break free and make their own informed choices. Â

He has no regrets about leaving the union behind and wants others to know it's possible and even better on the other side. Â

Friend, will you help more public employees like Alex break free from union control with your generous gift of any amount today? ([link removed] Â

Alex's story is one of thousands. Â

Teachers, firefighters, healthcare workers, and state employees come to AFFT because they want to understand their rights and explore alternatives without union intimidation.Â

Our free membership program provides workers nationwide with:Â
* Education about their First Amendment rights and how to opt out of union membershipÂ
* Scholarships for professional development and non-union alternativesÂ
* Protection from union retaliation and access to resources across new workplaces and communities

When one employee learns they can break free from union control, they share that knowledge with colleagues, creating a ripple effect across entire workplaces.Â

AFFT's work succeeds through three integrated pillars that challenge union power:Â
* Public Narrative Change â Strategic communications that expose union coercion and educate workers about their constitutional rightsÂ
Â
* Direct Member Support â Confidential assistance helping 500-800 workers monthly stand up to union pressure and exercise their freedomsÂ
Â
* Policy Reform â Strategic litigation and model legislation that dismantle structures protecting union dominance

We've grown to over 10,000 members nationwide who have chosen freedom over union control...Â

Supported 54 legal actions defending worker rights against union overreach...Â

And advanced worker-freedom legislation nationwide to limit union power.Â

Our mission works because knowledge meets support. Â

We provide workers with the information and the resources they need to stand up to unions. Â

And Friend, itâs supporters like you that makes this work possible.Â

Every contribution directly fuels our ability to reach more public employees who deserve to escape union control and make informed choices based on their own values, not union mandates.Â

If you believe public employees deserve freedom from union coercion, I invite you to join us with your most generous gift today. ([link removed]  Â
