New year, new season—and that means it’s time for the AFT Massachusetts statewide Winter Town Hall! 🎊
From our classrooms to the State House to the halls of Congress, there is A LOT going on in 2026, and we’re only two weeks into the year. So join fellow AFT MA members from locals across the state as we dive deep on the school funding crisis, give updates on healthcare changes, discuss updates on statewide graduation requirements and AFT MA’s strategic plan, and provide space for locals to connect directly with each other. Plus, we’ll be joined by Senator Ed Markey for key federal updates impacting our union and communities!
Register today to join us on Wednesday, January 28th at 7pm!
