Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” includes a tax loophole practically paying billionaires to “donate” to private school tuition for families earning up to $500,000 a year.
Tell your lawmakers: Say NO to school vouchers.

America is supposed to be the land of opportunity.
We can't create opportunity for kids by cutting the resources for education.

I’m so proud of our members and my staff for organizing more than 2,000 actions to #ProtectOurKids today. All of your photos, local news media coverage, and video clips are a reminder that together we can accomplish what is impossible alone!

Trump is trying to destroy the agency that supports children with disabilities and low-income schools. That's not just cruel—it's stupid. Thanks to @AFTunion and @rweingarten for standing up and fighting for our kids.
Our #ProtectOurKids Day of Action is today. Gutting public education to give tax cuts to billionaires would deny opportunities to children—including students with disabilities & kids living in poverty. I’m proud of our members for speaking out! aft.org/ProtectOurKids

The stakes of this election couldn't be more clear. When I vote, I'll be thinking about my daughters. What I saw today in MI was that union members are turning out. We're going to make a difference in this election. We've got 16 days to go.

This election is a choice between hope and fear, opportunity for all or yanking the ladder of opportunity away. That’s why @AFTUnion members (and our union siblings at @AFSCME) are on the road to turn out the vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz #AFTvotes. youtu.be/zbPmfOs32Xk

In Detroit @aftmichigan launched a canvass with @AFSCME. @FedIngram was there to thank each volunteer. There's real energy and momentum here in Michigan. We've got 16 days left and we're working hard for every vote.

To the men and women who answered the call and ran into danger in North Carolina, those who left who they love at home to help a community in need:
You're nothing short of heroes.
May God bless you all. And may you keep the faith.

Gross! JD Vance's comments are sad and insulting to millions of modern families, and school teachers including Catholic nuns, none of whom should be targeted for their family decisions.
