Take Action

Run/Walk for a cause! The purpose of this event is to raise money for the UFT Disaster Relief Fund. The proceeds will go the UFT Disaster Relief Fund, which has helped UFT members following natural disaster such as Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and Harvey in Texas and has contributed thousands of dollars to international relief operations.

The UFT is a strong union because of our membership. It’s why you have job security, teacher tenure, preparation periods, maximum teaching loads, premium-free healthcare and much more. Our enemies want to take all of this away from us. Now more than ever, we must stand together and take care of each other.

UFT members spend their days nurturing and supporting children, yet the city’s current parental leave policy forces members to choose between their own children and their profession. It’s time that the city grants UFT members the paid parental leave they deserve. But we need your help to get it done.

We want to showcase the great things that are happening in our public schools every day, honor our students’ accomplishments and illustrate the joys of teaching and learning.

As a union member, you will have access to valuable benefits and have a voice in your professional life that non-members don’t have.
