Affordable Housing
The shortage of affordable housing is pushing more students and families into homelessness and making it impossible for educators to live in the communities where they work.
Charter School Accountability
As taxpayer-funded schools, charter schools must be held to the same standards of accountability, transparency, and equity as traditional district public schools.
Child Nutrition
Students need healthy, nutritious school meals that are free to all and prepare them for learning.
Community Schools
Full-service community schools meet students’ academic and enrichment needs by recognizing that many students are coping with serious issues that affect their ability to learn and thrive in the classroom.
Gun Violence Prevention
Students need safe environments to learn, live, and grow.
Health Care
Every American has a right to comprehensive, affordable health coverage—especially the children who are our nation’s future.
Immigration
We need a fair immigration process that upholds America’s values and commitment to liberty and justice for all.
LGBTQ+ Rights
As Americans, we believe in equality and fairness for all, and together we can end discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.
Racial and Social Justice
All people, whatever their color, background, or ZIP code, deserve to be treated fairly and with respect.
Retirement Security
Educators in some states are denied Social Security benefits they’ve earned. NEA is pushing to end this injustice by enacting federal legislation.
Women's Rights
As a nation, we’ve made great strides in the fight for equality. But there’s still a ways to go.
Workers' Rights
Educators and all public-service employees deserve to negotiate over pay, benefits, and working conditions, but they lack a federal law that would guarantee that right.
Voting Rights
Whatever our color, background, or ZIP code, our vote gives us a say in the decisions that affect our lives.
Vouchers
Vouchers take scarce funding from students in public schools and give those resources to unaccountable private schools.
