Online Training: How to Fight Back for Immigrant Rights | NEA At this unprecedented time of attacks on immigrant students and families, we know that schools are not exempt from the increased ICE presence and threats, and consequent chilling effects on students and families we are seeing around the country.

Bargaining Updates from last week!

Education support professionals (ESPs) around the world continue to go above and beyond for their school communities. On World , we celebrate the critical role they play to ensure that all students have a quality education.

Update from the last 2 bargaining sessions.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Are you ready to share some appreciation? Tag some teachers you are grateful for and tell us what makes them special!

The City says there’s “no money” for paraprofessionals and other ESP workers fighting for a living wage — but somehow there’s $309,000 for a police commissioner buyout?

That tells us everything about priorities.

Paraprofessionals keep classrooms running. They support students with disabilities, multilingual learners, and kids who need extra care every single day. They deserve respect, dignity, and wages that let them actually live in the communities they serve.

Who’s valued in Cambridge?

Living wage now. Support ESPs.
