John,

As measles cases rise, schools, healthcare facilities and communities are at risk—not just from the disease itself but also from dangerous misinformation especially when it comes from high-profile sources. This preventable disease is making a dangerous comeback, and now is the time to ensure our members have the information they need to stay safe and keep their families and our communities safe.

On Monday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m. EDT, I’ll be joining Dr. Vin Gupta, a leading public health expert, and Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, for a live, interactive town hall to discuss the measles outbreak and how we can prevent further spread.

Together, Dr. Gupta, Dr. Hoffman and I will cover why measles cases are increasing; how vaccines and public health measures can stop the spread; and what schools, families and healthcare workers can do to stay safe.

By having a live, expert-driven discussion, we can provide essential insights to help keep our communities safe; combat vaccine misinformation; and ensure our schools, healthcare facilities and workplaces are prepared.

Let’s work together to make sure we all have the information we need to protect ourselves and others.

Sign up to join us for “Vital Lessons: A Town Hall on the Measles Outbreak and What You Need to Know” on Monday, March 24, at 5:30 p.m. EDT.

Thank you for helping us ensure that everyone has access to trusted, science-based health information.

In unity,
Randi Weingarten
AFT President
