Friend,

In just a few minutes, at 6:45 p.m. EDT, I’ll be going live on Facebook for a town hall with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, pediatrician Dr. Samira Brown, National PTA’s Nathan Monell, Dr. Pamela Cantor of Turnaround for Children, and Dan Domenech with AASA, The School Superintendents Association. Join us as we talk about COVID-19 and how we can keep students, educators and communities safe as we return to school this year.

Click here to tune in to the town hall on Facebook, or here to watch it on YouTube.

As we reopen schools this fall, our members are working hard to connect with parents on the importance of vaccinations and how to keep our children safe, and to fight disinformation in our communities. As parents and educators, we want to help ensure that schools are able to safely reopen in ways that make all students and educators feel welcome and supported. That’s why we’re having a special virtual town hall tonight with parents, health professionals and education experts.

This is set to be a great conversation, and I hope you’ll tune in to join us.

In unity,
Randi Weingarten
AFT president
