Thanks to the organizing you and your members did around Tier 1 for Everyone, NJEA has far surpassed its goal of collecting 100,000 petition signatures calling for changes to New Jersey’s unfair pension system.

This Thursday, Dec. 4, NJEA will host a Lobby Day and deliver more than 112,000 petition signatures to Governor Murphy, Senate President Scutari and Assembly Speaker Coughlin. Members who have signed up to attend will lobby legislators about the harmful consequences that inferior tiers have on recruiting and retaining educators, and the impact of staff shortages on students.

We understand that not everyone can join us in Trenton – the Statehouse isn’t big enough to hold us all! – so we ask that your local joins the fight for pension dignity by participating in a Day of Action.

This Thursday, Dec. 4, we are asking all NJEA members to:

Wear Red for Ed in support of Tier 1 for Everyone. Red for Ed is a sign of solidarity to support strong public schools.

Take group photos of members wearing red and post on social media using the hashtags . This flyer gives details on what to say and how to tag key decision makers.

Take Action. Have members reach out to their legislators and urge them to post and pass A5158/S3998 and A5160/S3997 before Governor Murphy leaves office in January using this link.

Your efforts are already making a difference. By staying united and pushing forward together, we can win fair pensions and retirement dignity for all members!

Solidarity forever!

Today we highlight our Graphics Communications Program! Graphic Arts teacher,
Ms. Demsey, shares “Our students in Graphic Arts are hard at work redesigning Shade Tree Grage logo, a business in Morristown. They start off with brainstorming, rough sketches and a class critique. They then pick the strongest design and move to the computer to create various versions of the logo in Adobe Illustrator. (not pictured - the next step is to add color and create presentations to the client)”.
