Friend --
I have always loved the sounds of a classroom.
The quiet that sparks with possibility just before students shuffle in.
The murmur of ideas bouncing back and forth as we explore the world together.
The laughter and tiny moments of surprise you find in materials you’ve taught a million times.
That’s because teaching is not just what I do. It’s who I am.
I’ve always felt most at home in a classroom. There’s an optimism amid the worn books and clean white boards -- a sense of possibility. As educators, our classrooms are where we live out a kind of faith: a belief that with patience and care, we can shape the next generation -- help them build on everything that’s come before us to make our world better.
That’s why I’m excited to be in Minnesota today announcing the launch of our Educators for Biden coalition! I want to personally invite you to join us.
From making the single largest investment in public education in U.S. history to supporting free healthy school meals for all students, Joe and Kamala have been tireless advocates for students, educators, and their families.
But they’ll be the first to admit that their work to make sure our students are given every chance to succeed is far from over.
Educators are some of the greatest change-makers in the world. They make miracles happen in their classrooms and change the world through each child. They are the backbone of our communities -- and we must keep investing in them and their work.
It will take all of us doing our part to set our students up for success for generations to come. As a critical member of this grassroots team, I know that Joe and Kamala would be so proud to have you in their corner making that possible.
Thank you so much for your support.
All my best,
Jill
Jill Biden
