Dear Friends,
I hope this note finds you safe and well. This week, we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week and today is Teacher Appreciation Day, in particular. We are saluting America’s educators all week on my twitter.com/TeamPelosi feed.
With your help, Democrats have championed quality public education for the children and delivered record relief to get students back in school safely. "Children learning, parents earning" is our mantra -- and it’s made possible by our dedicated teachers and educators.
On Thursday May 5 at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern, we are gathering for a very special grassroots event to highlight our support for public education and for our educators, the custodians of our children and grandchildren’s future. Join me and my very special guests:
-- Congresswoman Jahana Hayes, 2016 National Teacher of the Year
-- Becky Pringle, President of the National Education Association (NEA)
-- Randi Weingarten, President of American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
I am looking forward to this important conversation with this amazing panel of values-driven champions for America’s children. RSVP here to join us:

This past weekend, several of my colleagues and I had the honor of visiting with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv to affirm our support for the Ukrainian people's fight for their democracy and Democracy, writ large. Mindful of the threats to our Democracy and freedoms at home, we were nonetheless specifically reminded of the ongoing threat from Republicans with news that the radical Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe V. Wade.
Know that Democrats will never stop fighting for our Democracy and for reproductive rights. When Democrats say that everything is at stake in the next election -- we mean that everything is truly at stake.
We must and will win in November with your dedication and continued support. You, our Volunteers in Politics, make all the difference! Thank you.
