Hello DC! Due to the ongoing snow, the AFT rally at 11:00 am will no longer be taking place in-person – but we still hope to see you at the 4 pm rally at Independence Avenue and First Street SE.

Please RSVP here.

Stay safe and warm, and we hope to see you tomorrow afternoon!

A picture of educators rallying with signs that say, “Fund Our Schools.”

Attacks on the Department of Education and efforts to dismantle it jeopardize the resources, programs, and protections that give millions of students the opportunity to succeed.

Educators, parents, community leaders and elected officials are coming together tomorrow to stand up for students and public schools.

Join the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), union allies and our community as we stand up to protect kids’ safety, education and futures:

EVENT: Protect Students, Protect Public Schools Rally with AFT and union allies

WHEN: Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 4 p.m.

Together, we can build:

Safe and inclusive schools where every child feels secure and supported.
Strong public education that invests in every child, not just a privileged few.
Our children’s future by prioritizing commonsense solutions that ensure their safety and success.

We intend to rally despite the snowy forecast, so please dress warmly. We hope you’ll join us to stand united and demand action.
