[ [link removed] ]RSVP for a rallying "Educators for Harris" call hosted by MoveOn, the
American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the National Education
Association (NEA) this Thursday, September 26 at 7:30 P.M. ET (6:30
CT/5:30 MT/4:30 PT).

Dear MoveOn member,

JD Vance is "disturbed" by teachers without children.^1 

Trump just presented a keynote address for Moms for Liberty—an
extremist Project 2025 hate group focused on undermining public education
and banning books in schools.^2 

It's clear to us and the public: Donald Trump and JD Vance simply despise
teachers and educators. 

If you, like most people, respect our educators, have fond memories of
your childhood teachers, or have educators in your family—or maybe you are
one yourself—you know that we have to fight back against Trump's Project
2025 plans to derail our education system entirely.

That's why MoveOn and the nation's two biggest organizations of educators
and teachers—the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the National
Education Association (NEA)—are hosting an "Educators for Harris" call to
make it clear to the public that teachers and educators matter now, more
than ever—and who controls the White House in 2025 will be critical to the
futures of educators, our schools, our students, and our families all
across the country. 

[ [link removed] ]Join us on Thursday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m. ET for a virtual event
where we will discuss the importance of this election for our education
system at both the federal and state level. We will hear from teachers on
the front lines fighting against attacks on our freedom to learn and
discuss the dangers of a Trump presidency for our education system.

[ [link removed] ]We will be joined by Randi Weingarten, President of the AFT; Rebecca
"Becky" Pringle, President of the NEA; Stacy Davis Gates, President of the
Chicago Teachers Union; and revered writer, poet and educator Nikki
Giovanni, along with several teachers and educators speaking to their
experiences.

Teachers and educators have been some of the top contributors to the
Harris-Walz campaign, because they recognize the high stakes of this
election for our education system.^3 They have faced right-wing attacks
directly—from efforts to privatize our schools, to the relentless book
bans, to the efforts to demonize what educators can and cannot teach about
our shared history. Educators and teachers, and so many others, have too
much to lose in the event of a Trump-Vance administration. There's too
much at stake in this election for any of us to sit on the sidelines. 

This event is an opportunity to hear from former and current educators who
are directly impacted, and an opportunity for us to come together, and
hear even more about the stakes ahead of this crucial election. [ [link removed] ]RSVP

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025
is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks
communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and
undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll
our nation.

Will you start a monthly donation to power and sustain MoveOn's election
plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted? 



[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
