Retiremt Res. 75, w/ amendmt by 98-yr-young @CTULocal1 Bea Lumpkin to scrap cap on taxing income $250,000 & up, passed @AFTunion! #AFT100

So proud to have Bea Lumpkin as a fellow @CTULocal1 member. We learn so much from her. 98 years young, 83 years in labor- WOW!!! #AFT100

At 98 years young, Bea asked me Monday to help build intergenerational coalitions around our teacher retirement fight. She's THE OG #AFT100

Sorry, Bea Lumpkin. Was adding an S onto her name. Been adding the S all this time! #AFT100

I was so honored to work with Bea on the @AFTunion Retirement Committee. At 98 years young she pushed amendments on committee floor! #AFT100

Bea Lumpkins- Stay united and make broad coalitions! Makes sense why she's been involved in labor for EIGHTY-THREE YEARS!! <3 #AFT100

Bea Lumpkins of @CTULocal1- How can I put it in 3 words? Peace, Unity, & Struggle #AFT100 Amazing at 98 years young

Without debate, and outside of maybe five passionate NOs, @AFTunion overwhelmingly votes to oppose Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) #AFT100

Overheard at #AFT100- "Chicago @CTULocal1 is the Bernie of the AFT Convention- they're pushing @AFTunion to be better!"

Sea of red at the @CTULocal1 Caucus meeting at the #AFT100 convention! #AFT16

Many in @CTULocal1 and @iftaft wearing red for this last full day of the #AFT100 convention!

In so many ways has this AFT Convention been amazing. 1.5 days left with y'all. Good night! :-) #AFT100 #AFT16

We AFT teachers are about to march in Minneapolis #BlackLivesMatter #APIs4BlackLives #RaspberryBeret #AFT100

Resolution #27 on Racial Equity, which is all talk, no action, but still a step forward, passes @AFTunion body unanimously. #AFT100

@CTULocal1 @AFTunion Unfortunately Lillian Kass' amendment was not approved by majority of #AFT100 body

Kimberly Colbert and #AFT100 pay tribute to locations in USA affected by mass shootings and violence

Silly- the rolling tweets for #AFT100 are in Eastern Time. In Minneapolis we're in Central Time. NYC centric much?

Okay so real question for #AFT100- How many Vice Presidents are there in @AFTunion? I keep meeting VPs this convention and am confused :-)

To go see Hillary speak or to not see Hillary speak... #AFT100

Democracy, debate in action. Just gotta figure out those Robert's Rules though #AFT100

I'm learning so much about how the American Federation of Teachers runs. And I'm really enjoying my time in the Retirement Committee #AFT100

Resolution #75 with amendment passes through retirement committee #AFT100

After long debate (& my first time speaking against in an AFT committee, ah!) Resolution #74- Retirement Security, has been tabled. #AFT100
