Our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Officer Seiber.

“The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers extends our deepest condolences to the family of Officer Shane Seiber, as well as to the FOP Lodge 5 and entire Philadelphia Police Department on this shocking loss. We send our wishes for a full, swift recovery to the PPD officer who survived this horrific overnight assault.Police officers know too well the toll of gun violence on our communities. They put themselves in harm's way daily to keep us safe. We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

 

"The PFT continues to demand sensible gun regulations that keep firearms away from those who would use them to terrorize, harm, and kill others."

I’ve spoken with Mayor Devlin and offered my Administration’s full support following the tragic mass shooting in Erie last night — killing nine of our fellow Pennsylvanians. My heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community.

As we remember the darkness that fell on Israel on October 7, 2023, we must also commit ourselves to bringing light to shine on our world, to double our efforts toward peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians, alike. jstreet.org/press/j-stre...

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

"This isn't just about a paid leave. It's about valuing our educators as people and not just as employees."

We're proud to have negotiated paid parental & adoption leave so that members like Janet won't lose pay or sick leave after her family welcomes their third child!

Fun fact: In 2020, Jeff Yass' main targets for donations were two Congressional candidates who supported Trump's coup before they were even sworn in: Lauren Boebert and Madison Cawthorn. Boebert was a Stop the Steal speaker twice in December. Cawthorn spoke at Trump's rally on Jan 6.

Billionaires like Jeff Yass want to destroy public education and democracy because those two pillars of a free and just society go hand in hand. What big tech billionaires are doing in collaboration with ICE is totally at odds with a free and peaceful democracy. It’s just plain EVIL.
