AFT Day of Action to Protect Our Kids, Our Families and Our Communities

statewide
United States

Life is getting harder—not easier.

Instead of helping kids and families get ahead, this administration is making life harder, with:

Cuts to schools and child care

Attacks on student borrowers

Muzzling academic freedom

Cuts to healthcare and public services

Immigration raids that make communities less safe

Families are facing rising costs, while public education, higher ed, healthcare and public services are being cut or hollowed out. Immigration raids are pushing fear into schools, campuses and hospitals—places that should be safe for learning, getting needed care and belonging. Educators, healthcare workers and public employees are being stretched thinner, asked to do more with less, while kids and families pay the price.

March 4 is a nationwide day of action to protect our communities and fight for a better life for all—for opportunity, freedom, safety and affordability.

We must keep the pressure up. And pressure works.

When this administration tried to cut education funding, Congress, in a bipartisan way, stopped those cuts. When Education Secretary Linda McMahon tried to erase civil rights protections with the stroke of a pen, our legal cases stopped it. And as this administration uses violence and fear to intimidate communities, our members are building mutual aid networks and protecting our kids and communities.

It’s time, like last year, to march for (on March 4!) our kids, our families and our communities—to show the nation who we are, what we’re fighting for and what our kids, our families and our communities need.
