We invite every educator and education advocate to join us for a day of skill-building, workshops from education and union experts from across the country, and...kicking off our official 2016 election platform and slate!

Philadelphia, PA 19106

WE are working to build a member-driven, democratic union that can defend and transform public education-- but we need your ideas and passion to make it possible.
Join us for the whole day or any part of it (make sure you get some lunch, too). Even if you can't make it, please invite a Philadelphia educator you know that might be interested.
