Investing in public education means restoring the $6.35 billon cut from public schools since 2018. #PETL #ETFO #onted #smallerclass #BigDifference #FundtheFrontlines

23,000 education workers. One message:
Stop cutting student supports while protecting management.
Read our Peel Education Workers United media release above. #FundtheFrontlines #OnPoli #ProtectPublicEducation #PeelSchools

2 CRITICAL NEXT STEPS/ACTIONS:

1. Email trustees & senior leadership: win.newmode.net/peelelementa...

2. Attend PDSB Board Mtg on January 28: etfopeel.com/event/pdsb-b...

Public education isn’t defended by staying silent. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab #FundTheFrontlines 2/2

🚨 UPDATE & ACTION: PDSB senior leadership tried to force cuts to front-line student supports quietly, without trustee or union consultation. Education workers organized and forced some reversals. Cuts are still happening, and pressure *must* continue. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab #FundTheFrontlines 1/2

These decisions are being made with little notice, without trustee oversight, & without meaningful consultation with workers.

We are united in demanding transparency, fair restraint, & the protection of student supports.

More to come.

#FundTheFrontlines #OntEd #OnLab #ETFO 2/2

Unions representing over 23k Peel ed workers have sent a joint letter to the PDSB opposing cuts that erode front-line student supports while protecting management-level spending.

Full letter here: etfopeel.com/joint-messag...

We’re pushing back, together.

The Hidden Element: Beer Distribution — Beervana Every time you pick up a six-pack from the store, it has already been sold twice before. That's because we have a system that includes a mostly-hidden middleman who neither makes nor nor sells the bee...

Craft beer stumbled on distribution. Small brewers were squeezed out by giants. Ocean work must redistribute visibility and funding, lifting up grassroots, coastal, and Indigenous efforts. Not just legacy NGOs.

Will PA budget include wage boost for low-paid home care workers? Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposal would add $21 million for certain home care workers. But advocates say much more is needed before Pa. pay is competitive.

“The in-home care industry could ‘collapse,’” warns PHA's CEO Mia Haney.

As budget talks continue, the need for across-the-board investment in home care has never been more urgent.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from PHA!

Today, we celebrate freedom and the caregivers who help Pennsylvanians live independently at home every day.

Here’s to the aides, nurses, and families who make care possible. We see you and we thank you!

We're tearing down essential human services—and handing the spoils to the elites. That’s not change. It’s chaos. Real revolution means: Emergency Bridge Funds, co-designed metrics, real-time budgets & pay tied to community well-being. #FundTheFrontLines

As federal cuts loom, pressure on Medicaid leaves Pa. patients feeling the crunch Low Medicaid rwimbursement rates make it difficult for providers to keep their pay competitive, leading to staffing shortages and gaps in care.

PA caregivers earn just $14/hr to keep people like Linda safe at home, while private pay is $25. With 112k shifts going unfilled, Medicaid underfunding is a crisis. Raise the rates and #FundTheFrontlines
