Dear Friend,

I joined Dr. Jill Biden and other incredible educators in Minnesota last night to kick off Educators for Biden-Harris. We launched before the Education Minnesota conference started, and the room was filled with hope after Dr. Biden spoke about a sense of renewed commitment to build on the Biden-Harris administration’s work supporting our kids, our schools, our families and our communities.

Joe and Jill Biden believe in American workers, students and families. They believe in educators. In the decades since I first met them, the Bidens have always been focused on results, while trying to avoid the partisan noise—it’s one of the reasons this administration is so effective.

We have seen Joe Biden walk the picket line and Jill Biden teach for 30 years in the classroom. They fight for workers to have a better shot and for public schools to be well funded. They have fought against gun violence and for safer schools. They press for policies that lower costs and provide opportunity, like providing over $136.6 billion in targeted student loan relief to more than 3.7 million borrowers, and dedicating nearly $300 billion to manufacturing investments for workforce development and to expand access to STEM and rural education.

This may be the most consequential election since the Civil War, and we have a choice between the most pro-union, pro-worker president in our lifetime—or a career conman who is facing multiple criminal trials and vows to dismantle the institutions communities rely on for education, healthcare and public safety.

If you didn’t get a chance to watch the Educators for Biden-Harris launch event live, you can watch the highlights here.

While others divide and undermine, President Biden lives and honors our values; and we will stand with him as he campaigns to make a difference—not just for educators, but for all Americans.

Please take a minute to join the AFT’s Educators for Biden-Harris campaign.

In unity,
