Get Involved

Union members in Minneapolis–St. Paul recently issued a call to show nationwide solidarity on Jan. 23 after a brutal ICE operation there led to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis substitute teacher, and the targeting of students, educators and immigrant communities in and around local schools. In response, 90% of UFT delegates overwhelmingly adopted an emergency resolution to join the “Day of Truth and Freedom,” Jan. 23, in solidarity with educators, students and immigrant communities in Minnesota. The UFT is signing on to the Stand with Minneapolis march. We are joining with 1199SEIU, 32BJ, PSC-CUNY, Teamsters and more to march from Union Square to Bryant Park. Now we need to demonstrate our unity — visibly and collectively.

Register for the 23rd annual UFT African Heritage Committee Awards Dinner Dance. This special evening brings the community together to celebrate and honor committee awardees while enjoying an atmosphere of culture, connection, and appreciation.

Please join the UFT and your fellow paraprofessionals from across the city at this year’s Paraprofessionals Awards Luncheon. Our premier annual event for paraprofessionals features breakfast, CTLE workshops, a festival with games and prizes, a bag of wellness freebies and a luncheon.
