1st Time Delegates to the NEA Convention!
Your blog team's Top 3 Items from today were:
1.) The First Caucus Meeting: It's always exciting to meet up with your union brothers and sisters from across the state and hear about what's coming up for the NEA Convention.
2.) The "Free Our Future March": We heard NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia speak and several NEA Delegation Members marched along with Minnesotans to take a stand against families being separated at the borders who are seeking asylum and the Supreme Court Ruling upholding the Travel Ban.
3.) The State Auction: One of the goals for the NEA RA is for delegates to fund raise for the NEA Fund for Children (the NEA Polictical Action Committee Fund). The State Auction is a great chance for delegates to bid for a special seat on the RA floor (hello aisle seat!) and to be a liaison to another state contact. We'll get a full report in the morning of how much money we raised!
