Standing up for educators, support professionals, and students

We are not in this alone. As PSEA members, we have each other’s backs. The Keystone to Democracy project is how we will provide facts about Project 2025 and learn how we can protect our schools, our students, and our members.

What we stand for: PSEA members' values

Teaching and learning focused on the needs of our students.

A future where resources and funding are no longer obstacles for our students to reach their full potential. 

Collective action, because it protects our rights, salaries, benefits, and working conditions.
