We deserve pro-public education leaders who work together to solve problems, not make our lives harder.

The best way to protect our freedom to vote is to turn out in record numbers. Check your registration, make a plan to vote early, and ensure your friends and family do the same.

Many states have voter registration deadlines coming up. Even if you think you're registered to vote, we encourage you to check your voter registration status now so that there is time to update it in case you have been dropped from the voter rolls.

Giving a big shout-out to all the amazing teachers out there, here in North America, across the pond in Europe, through mountains and seas, into Asia and Africa, and in our neighbors to the south in Central and South America — teachers help impart knowledge to expand our hearts, minds, and horizons. Celebrate World Teachers' Day! 🌟
