“As a labor movement, we must come together and look ahead. It’s time to rebuild and recover. It’s time to grow into the America we should be – one that treats our Black and Brown citizens with respect and equity, extinguishes racism, nationalism and their evils; one that prioritizes the needs of students; and one that lifts up all working people. And we must unite around a humane and humanizing recovery from the many devastations of the COVID crisis.

“The hard work of undoing the destructive Trump/DeVos agenda begins today, but I am confident that under the leadership of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris our nation is on a path towards a more just society that centers the interests of students, educators, and working families.”
