04 Mar Support AFT Campaign to “Fund Our Future”
Today, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) launched a national education investment campaign called Fund Our Future .
Educators, parents, students and their communities understand the importance of public education and public post-secondary education. Their frustration over the lack of sufficient investment has sparked the activism sweeping the nation. The walkouts and funding fights in states such as West Virginia, Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma, and cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, have been inspirational. AFT members are standing up. They are taking to the streets to demand the teaching and learning conditions they and their students deserve.
Starting today and throughout the month of March, educators and their allies across the nation are taking action to demand adequate investment in our public schools, colleges and universities, so studentsโparticularly our most vulnerable and at-risk childrenโhave the resources they need to succeed. There are more than 90 events scheduled across the country and the list is growing.
