The Trump administration’s plan to gut education funding and dismantle the Department of Education threatens millions of students. Join educators, parents, and advocates to take a stand TOMORROW to #ProtectOurKids and fight for the schools they deserve. youtu.be/JScmEha3_8s

#ProtectOurKids Day of Action on March 4. Musk & Trump are taking a chainsaw to public education—gutting funding for special ed, career training, and student loans to give tax cuts to the wealthy—but we’re fighting back! youtu.be/O6Toz65kbbQ

Our public schools are under attack and so is our children’s future. Tomorrow, educators, lawmakers, parents, students and community members will rally at the New York State Capitol to stop the dismantling of public education. Join our fight: nysut.cc/march4action

Excited to head to the Capitol tomorrow with NYSUT - A Union of Professionals to lobby our legislators! Advocating for stronger support for our schools!

Nothing better than a room full of hundreds of @NYSUT members fired up & ready to meet their legislators and fight for public ed! When union power shows up like this, you know it’s going to be a GREAT day! 💪🔥

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of NYSUT members, parents, education advocates and more are in Albany rallying around our public schools and students. #ProtectOurKids

“We have the power.” — NYS AFL-CIO // #UnionStrong President Mario Cilento, sharing a resounding rallying cry about protecting our schools, students and futures. #ProtectOurKids

The commissioner of NYS Education Department, Dr. Betty Rosa, knows firsthand how crucial protecting our public education system is in providing a bright future for our students. #ProtectOurKids

“We need to make sure to pay it forward. Do not let them take what we have had for granted.” — NYS PEF President Wayne Spence #ProtectOurKids

Why do public schools matter? We can think of quite a few reasons.

NY students need strong CTE & BOCES programs to succeed, but outdated funding holds them back. Urge our lawmakers to expand access & update funding! mac.nysut.org/action/931

The Southern Tier welcomes Ron Gross. Grateful for his tireless advocacy on behalf of our NYSUT members.

NY teachers spend their own $$ on supplies & student needs—some over $1,000 a year! Lawmakers must pass an educator tax credit. Raise your voice! mac.nysut.org/action/929

Tell the governor and the Legislature that it's time to get this budget done for our students and our schools. mac.nysut.org/action/950

One in two children in Rochester live in poverty. This. Is. Not. Acceptable. NYSUT President Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 energizes the crowd in Rochester. #MayDay2025 #UnionStrong

It’s time to hold corporate charters accountable. Tell your legislator to support S.7462 (Hoylman-Sigal)/A.6884 (Benedetto)- require corporate charters to follow the same enrollment, disciplinary & fiduciary requirements as neighborhood public schools. mac.nysut.org/action/957
