AFT Pledging To Join the No Kid Hungry Campaign
Posted on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 8:02 PM by
In partnership with the nonprofit group Share Our Strength (SOS), the AFT is gearing up to help launch the No Kid Hungry campaign, which is aimed at eradicating child hunger by 2015. To start, AFT affiliates are asking their members to take a No Kid Hungry pledge online. What is the pledge? It's a national effort to mobilize Americans in the fight to end child hunger. The campaign will give people tangible actions they can take to connect children facing hunger with the nutritious food they need every day. Like everything AFT members do both in their lives and work, the pledge is for people who believe they can make a difference in tackling a huge obstacle facing our nation's children. The official launch of the No Kid Hungry campaign is planned for November. In the meantime, take the pledge, ask your union brothers and sisters to do the same, and stay tuned for other ways we can mobilize AFT members to end childhood hunger.

After the signing of the bill that will save many educator's jobs, our very own Loris Welch spoke to a group in Washington that included Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
AFT President Randi Weingarten said, "I watched this historic vote from the House gallery with two amazing teachers who received pink slips earlier this year—Amanda Van Ness from Toledo, Ohio; and Loris Welch from Perth Amboy, N.J. Ms. Welch (in picture below, with Weingarten and Van Ness) just learned she has been recalled due to retirements and attrition but is anxiously hoping other laid-off colleagues, as well as Ms. Van Ness, will benefit from the funding."
