Tomorrow, July 5th, ten candidates for president will be participating in a forum at the National Education Association Representative Assembly in Houston. Questions will be related to education. Information is available through NEA Strong Public Schools 2020. RSVP here to watch it live streamed on Facebook 2:00-4:00 PM.
In attendance will be former Vice President Joe Biden, Former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, Mayor Bill DeBlasio, Sen. Kamala Harris, Gov. Jay Inslee, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, Rep. Tim Ryan, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Educators will play a vital role in the presidential election; 1 in 39 voters is in an NEA household and 1 in 100 Americans is an NEA member. The NEA is the largest professional employee organization, consisting of three million educators who advance the cause of public education.
Eight of your fellow IEA Naperville 203 Region 39 members are in attendance at the NEA-RA, along with 9,000 other educators. You can follow along with the business of the RA here.
