I pledge to stick with my union!

Corporate CEOs

The Supreme Court's decision in the Janus vs AFSCME case has overturned a rule that is a blow to an educator's ability to effectively advocate for what is best for all students in this country.

We believe that this decision will lead to turmoil throughout the United States and within education, hindering professionalism from kindergarten through University. We believe is will now become easier to dismiss educators without cause because this decision defiles that hard-fought collective bargaining rights of a female-dominated profession. The motivation of the Janus case, funded by billionaires is to limit the scope of education unions to support their members, all to increase their own financial gains.

The Badass Teachers Association resolves to fight back by encouraging every educator to remain solid and active as union members, spreading the word throughout social media and in our communities that support for educator unions should go beyond paying dues. We are resolved to fight back against the anti-labor, anti-union forces that seek to exploit our profession.


This attack on unions and the working class cannot be ignored but met with a renewal of true union values.

Today's Janus decision solidifies what we already knew, that corporations would stop at nothing to take away the rights of citizens to collectively act to strengthen and protect the rights of all workers in this county.

Not only do I resolve to stick with my union, I pledge to join in the work of real organizing in partnership with my community, to fight all oppression.
