We are in a crisis, but educators and staff across the state have told us how to fix it. They want respect. School employees, parents, and students are coming together across Texas to demand respect from our state’s elected officials and from candidates for office. And it takes resources to spread our Respect message. Our work matters — and it gets results! Our work, of course, is never finished. Texas AFT and its members will continue to fight for: • Additional funding for public education providing a real investment for our neighborhood schools and colleges • Increased salaries and improved healthcare benefits giving employees the freedom to live securely • Safe and welcoming environments in our schools, lower class sizes, and wrap-around resources for our students • The freedom to teach and the freedom to care so we can meet our students’ needs By donating to the Texas AFT Committee of Political Education (COPE), you help us advocate for you and your family. If you donate just $5 a month — less than your daily Starbucks — you can help change Texas for the better and demand respect. https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/respectusexpectus
