graphic with headline “Meet the Activists” and subhead “Amanda Harvey, Treasurer, Middletown Federation of Paraprofessionals, AFT Local 3161.” Additional text: “Amanda has worked for nearly 15 years as a team paraeducator in Middletown, where she supports students in grades six through eight at Beman Middle School. As treasurer for her local union for the past 10 years, Amanda has provided invaluable oversight of her fellow members’ dues investments. She has also served on two successful bargaining teams, recently helping secure a landmark successor contract that has been held up as a model for non-certified school personnel. When a senior administrative crisis struck four years ago, Amanda joined her local’s leaders in collaborating with all the unions representing employees in the district. Together, their collective action won justice on the job and paved the way for a much improved school climate. Includes photo of Amanda holding a Union YES sign that says “I am union yes because that’s how we have each others backs in tough times.” and two logos: “AFT Connecticut” and “I Am Union YES.”
