NEA Today

Hello Everyone,
I am Princess Moss, the new president of the National Education Association.

I look forward to getting to know you better and working with you to strengthen our public schools.

One thing you should know about me: This is my favorite time of year.

In neighborhoods throughout the country, educators and students are settling into new routines, desks are filled, cafeteria lines are moving, library shelves are fully stocked, and buses are rolling.

The air is filled with the promise of a fresh start.

But, let’s be honest. It’s also a tough time for too many of us.

Educators and families are finding it difficult to get by with higher prices for groceries, health care, and housing.

Too many students come to school hungry or worried about their family’s safety.

We can’t just “get by with less" or accept this as our new reality.

We have to do something about it.

And, here’s the thing: We have the power to make a better future for ourselves and our students if we work together, each of us doing what we can.

So I’m asking you: This back-to-school season, how will you commit to working toward a brighter tomorrow?

Will you organize locally around an issue you care about?

Will you get involved in your school community?

Will you hold lawmakers accountable?

Will you join our union or help recruit a colleague?

Whether you are a new educator, a veteran educator, a public service worker, or a parent who cares about our public schools, there is a role for you to play.

Early in my career, I learned the power of organizing—that when we come together and fight for something we believe in, we can make a difference.

I believe in you. I believe in us. I believe in a better tomorrow.

Let’s make it happen, together.

In solidarity,

Princess Moss

Family, Friends,

For generations, Black workers have helped power the U.S. economy while fighting for a fair share of its promise. That fight continues today, and all of our voices are essential to carrying it forward.

We’re celebrating Labor Action Week this week under a powerful theme, “We the Working People,” because we know that working people standing together is a powerful force for positive change in workplaces across the country. Here’s how you can join us:
Civic Engagement Power Hour Activation

Here's some of what we must continue fighting for:
• Empowering workers to know their rights and use their voice
• Advocating for fair wages that reflect the true value of labor
• Challenging harmful labor practices that exploit and divide us
• Building unity across unions, communities, and generations
The strength of this movement has always come from people like you, the union members, the activists, and everyone who believes that dignity belongs to every worker.

In Unity,

NAACP

Combat the gerrymandering in our State, every registered voter must vote! Our Vote is our voice and our voice is our power!!!

Family, Friends,

I keep thinking about the voter who sees a long line at the polls.

The person who discovers too late that they needed to take an extra step to confirm their registration.

The parent who has to figure out how to vote around work and family responsibilities.

For some people, a new barrier is an inconvenience.

For others, it can be the difference between being heard and being shut out.

That is not something NAACP is willing to accept.

We’re not waiting; we’re working. Now we need you with us to get the job done! Your support matters. Please donate today to help power the NAACP’s historic $20 million GOTV campaign!

Across the country, the landscape is changing.

More than 1.2 million Texas voters are currently on the state’s suspense list. Tarrant County has eliminated 92 Election Day polling locations. And the Justice Department plans to deploy approximately 1,000 personnel to polling places during the midterms.

These developments are exactly why our work is so crucial. NAACP is building the infrastructure to reach voters where they are.

Our historic GOTV campaign is working to mobilize 6.5 million Black voters and recruit 20,000 volunteers across 14 states and 33 congressional districts.

We have fought too hard for the right to vote to take it for granted now.

Our vote is our voice.

Our voice is our power.

And together, we can make sure it is heard.

If you’re as determined as we are, will you make a contribution today to help NAACP keep fighting back in our communities, at the ballot box, and wherever our constitutional rights are at stake?

Thank you,
Yumeka Rushing
Chief Strategy Officer
NAACP

Millions of voters are facing new barriers. We’re fighting back.
Derrick Johnson, NAACP [email protected]

Family, Friends,

I want to tell you something I hope you never forget: Your voice matters. Your vote matters. And you deserve to be heard.

But right now, too many voters are being asked to overcome barriers just to make their voices heard.

Here’s what’s happened this week:

● More than 1.2 million Texas voters are on the state’s suspense list.
● In a Texas county, officials have closed 92 polling locations.
● Nationally, the Trump administration continues to attack mail-in voting.
● DOJ plans to deploy personnel to polling places! A clear intimidation tactic.

With just 59 days left until the midterm elections, our teams on the ground are working around the clock to ensure voters can make their voices heard.

This is exactly why NAACP’s work cannot wait. Will you make a donation today to help us reach voters, protect our rights, and power our historic Get Out The Vote campaign?
https://donate.naacp.org/campaign/790329/donate?c_src=EM_FR_B1_090526_AC_30D&amount=30&recurring=12&emci=1bd8fbe9-aaa7-f111-9b33-0022482a933b&emdi=a3a2fc3f-33a9-f111-9b33-0022482a933b&ceid=2809924

For generations, NAACP has stood with people who were told their voices did not matter.

We know what it looks like when seemingly small barriers become impossible hurdles for working families, older Americans, people with disabilities, and communities that have historically been pushed away from the ballot box.

That is why we refuse to wait. We are organizing now.

Our historic GOTV campaign is working to mobilize 6.5 MILLION Black voters and recruit 20,000 volunteers across 14 states and 33 congressional districts.

We’re knocking on doors. We’re talking to voters. We’re making sure people know how to confirm they're still registered, and where, when, and how they can vote.

I believe deeply in the power of our communities.

I believe in what happens when people come together and refuse to be pushed aside.

And I believe our vote is our voice.

Will you make a contribution today to help NAACP make sure no eligible voter is left behind or silenced?

Let’s get to work,

Derrick Johnson
President and CEO
