Common Ground Over Chaos Bus Tour

In the final weeks leading up to Election Day, NYSUT is hitting the road on our Common Ground Over Chaos statewide bus tour to get out the vote and support candidates who support public education and our union values. We’ll be meeting with elected federal and state officials to call for a return to politics where democracy, compromise and healthy debate are valued once again. Our educators are leading the way by showing students how to engage in civil discussions and we are asking politicians to commit to following this example.
