John, as an educator-survivor of the Sandy Hook shooting, I don’t just carry a memory of what happened, but a mission to make our classrooms and communities safer.
To achieve this, we need one
big thing –
a seat at the table. And that’s exactly what Teachers Unify is fighting for.
Last month, I spoke with
Education Week about Teachers Unify's work to bring educators to every table where decisions about school safety are made.
John, educators are on the front lines of this epidemic. Yet far too often, our voices are left out of decisions that impact our classrooms. And the decisions that are made
for us are often
not what we need.
That needs to change, John.
We know the solutions that could be implemented
right now. For one, Teachers Unify is empowering educators to advocate for accessible meetings with decision makers. And we're making real progress, from partnering with New York City schools to share firearm storage guidelines to facilitating direct educator input in legislative discussions.
But here’s the truth: This crucial work requires continued support from grassroots donors to maintain our momentum.
Change is within our reach, John. So will you donate $25 to Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence to help empower our work and help give educators a seat at the table?
