A photo of EdSource reporter Emma Gallegos with the following quote: "Everyone deserves equitable pay. Yet, with my current salary, I can't pay for basic necessities AND save for retirement AND pay rent. The math just doesn't work out."

All we're asking for is a fair contract. It's been over a year since the EdSource Guild unionized, and we still don't have a contract. Guild members are sharing why reaching an agreement on a contract now is so important. What you can do: Spread the word! Like, comment, or share this post.

This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.

Rebuking Trump, Congress Moves to Maintain Most Federal Education Funding Funding for key programs like Title I and IDEA are on track to remain level year over year.

New: Congress is on the verge of (largely) rebuking President Trump's budget proposal for education.

In Trump's First Year, at Least $12 Billion in School Funding Disruptions The administration's cuts to schools came through the Education Department and other agencies.

The U.S. Department of Education alone moved to cancel, discontinue, or terminate more than 730 grants (!) across 30 separate K-12 and higher education programs.

Those grants were collectively worth at least $2.2 billion. Only a small fraction have been reinstated. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...
