The largest teachers’ union in the United States is no longer pretending it’s apolitical.
During a national organizing call for May Day, National Education Association (NEA) President Becky Pringle issued a sweeping directive to her 3 million members: walk out of the classroom and take to the streets—not just for one day, but indefinitely.
“I have put out a call to all of them, urging them—every one of them—to participate in Thursday’s May Day action,” Pringle declared. “And let me be clear, this May Day isn’t just one day of action. It is the start of an ongoing movement…”
Pringle tied the NEA’s participation in May Day protests to a radical political agenda, framing it as a movement to “win schools and communities that we all deserve,” defined not by educational goals but by anti-capitalist priorities: attacking billionaires, abolishing school privatization, and expanding universal government programs.
“We are fighting for a country that will protect everyone who calls this nation home… no matter the language they speak, what they look like, or where they live,” she said. “And we will fight for as long as it takes.”
She wasn’t speaking metaphorically. According to Pringle, the NEA has already helped coordinate over 1,000 protest actions nationwide for May Day, with more to come.
This is the same union that receives taxpayer funding. The same union that influences public school curricula. The same union that negotiates contracts dictating whether your child has a teacher in the classroom or a political activist on the picket line.
And they’re telling us—plainly—that they’re just getting started.
“We will continue to stand against all that is unacceptable, inhumane or immoral,” Pringle concluded, quoting activist Audre Lorde. “And we will fight to create the country that we all deserve and that our students… are depending on us to fight for.”
In Pringle’s vision, education is no longer a neutral civic good. It’s a weapon of permanent resistance.
