NEU Mission Statement

National Educators United is a grassroots group of educators and allied stakeholders organized to achieve its vision through a variety of actions. We seek to:

• Unite across states in unions, caucuses, and other grassroots networks as a collective group of educators to build a national movement

• Build capacity for collective action in our different states and local contexts to meet our demands

• Assist each other in learning how to more effectively organize

• Push education to the forefront of the national conversation before and after the 2020 presidential election

• Replace charter schools, education reform, standardized testing, scripted curriculum, and the corporatization of education with fully-funded, democratically operated neighborhood community schools with that center racial equity and social justice

• Fight for the rights and respect of all education workers

• Create a society that highly values the education and care of all children, including undocumented ones, for the future that we all want for our families and communities
