• Lower your student loan payments before the payment suspension expires in September 2020;

About this event

The 2020 election is too important to wait! Voting by mail has opened up across the country and has made it easier than ever to vote from home, according to your busy schedule.

Voting by mail is a safe, convenient way to ensure educators’ voices are heard this election, and we need your help getting fellow members signed up to vote by mail in the 2020 election.

Join fellow educators for a nationwide Hustle-bank and Zoom party where we will text fellow members messages to encourage them to vote by mail this year. Don’t worry text messages will come from an NEA phone number!

Don’t know the vote by mail rules? Don’t know how to use Hustle? No problem! We will provide you all the information and training you need to help inform others of how to access their ballots in this important election.

More information will be coming VERY soon from the state of Illinois and ISBE for guidelines for what the start of school will look like this fall.

Because of you our students, our schools, and our communities have all come through remote learning stronger and better connected. You make a difference everyday in the lives of our students. Because of you our students succeed.

Friend, Please join us on Thursday, June 18 for an engaging conversation to ensure that as we reopen public school buildings, opportunities for students exist in equitable and just schools. RSVP to join our tele-town hall from 5-6 p.m. EDT on Thursday—we want to include your voice! Our panel—which includes NEA Vice President Becky Pringle, and NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson—will be moderated by Jesse Holland, CSPAN Washington Journal Host and award-winning reporter, so you won’t want to miss it.  Together, we will engage in a powerful discussion around the impacts of this pandemic on schools and communities, particularly historically marginalized Black communities. As schools and districts make plans to return to in-person learning, equity and racial justice must be the driving factor in decisions being made.

We hope to see you there,  National Education Association

Yesterday we had over 70 fabulous ESPs attend our ESP Council Zoom meeting. We had great topics and discussions! Members shared how the events have effected them after the inexcusable death of Mr. Floyd and how we can support each other during this time. Rob Lyons, IEA Associate General Counsel and Kathi Griffin, President of IEA attended as special guests and resources to help answer important questions effecting ESPs today such as: ESPs and reduction in force (RIF), our concerns regarding summer and fall around, safety best practices, and working conditions.
