The Rising Educator Collective

Who's excited for Spring break? Let's celebrate by getting a strike! (No, not that kind.) Come hang out with YEA's Rising Educator Collective Committee. FREE FOOD. FREE BOWLING. FREE SWAG! Please make sure to RSVP by using the QR code in the flier. (Open to YEA members only.)

The Rising Educator Collective will be holding their first social soon! So please be on the look out for future communication. Any educator is welcome, but we primarily focus on organizing members who are in the years 0-10.

Here is some more information for all of those interested!

Did you 👀 the latest legislative watch?

(House Resolution 82 and Senate Resolution 597) proposes to fully repeal GPO/WEP. NEA and OEA strongly support the legislation. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown is a primary sponsor of S. 597 and has submitted a bill to repeal GPO/WEP during the last several sessions of Congress.

HR 82 has overwhelming bi-partisan support with over 304 co-sponsors (more than half of Congress). However, action is needed to progress the bill forward. Specifically, we are calling on the House Ways and Means Committee to hold a “mark-up” session for the bill. This is an important next step.

Ohio has two members of this vital committee: Representatives Brad Wenstrup (R-2nd District) and Mike Carey (R- 15th District). We encourage OEA members in those districts to contact their representative and urge them to call for a mark-up of HR 82. To look up your congressional district, please click the link below:
