Actor and philanthropist Matt Damon joined educators and concerned citizens from across the country in Washington, DC on June 30 to urge national leaders to focus on education reform that provides a high-quality education for every student. Mr. Damon gave an inspiring speech to the crowd and later defended teachers to an aggressive reporter, and gave an interview in which he expressed dissatisfaction about current education policy. Later, MSNBC commentator Lawrence O’Donnell highlighted Matt Damon’s words in offering his own impassioned defense of educators. NEA members bused, drove, flew, or took trains from every part of the country to show solidarity with fellow educators and declare their dedication to a fully-funded, world-class education system for all students in the United States.

• In this time of unrelenting assaults on America’s unions, it is vitally important that we continue to remind our nation of the critical role labor unions have played in developing and sustaining the middle class.
In this endeavor, NEA has assembled a set of resources for your use. They can be found in the Leader-to-Leader section of the NEA Academy website. The information covers a wide range of labor-related topics, including lesson plans focusing on Labor Day, the concept of a labor union, and in some instances, role playing experience on what it means to be a labor member. |
