BOROUGH-BASED COHORTS
Connect with educators across school campuses, get involved with campaigns to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline, and organize for changes in your school.

SCHOOL SITE ORGANIZING

RANK & FILE POWER
Work with educators and allies to leverage the weight of the UFT to fight institutional racism and economic injustice.

PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH
Help develop resources and tools that shape policy decisions about schools. TU’s Participatory Action Research seeks to reclaim the conversation around school safety and create a vision for truly safe, accountable, and democratic schools.

POLITICAL EDUCATION
Facilitate workshops and present at conferences, or engage in a learning series with the TU community.

ALLIES IN RESISTANCE
