“Being a member of Teachers Unite consistently refreshes my energy and excitement about teaching & learning.”
our mission
Teachers Unite is an independent membership organization of public school educators in New York City collaborating with youth and parents to transform public schools.
We resist institutions that segregate and criminalize Black and Latinx youth, such as the school-to-prison pipeline, by organizing educators to work as allies in campaigns for social and economic justice.
We develop and share resources for restorative justice and school-based power-building that promote grassroots leadership in public education, and we conduct collaborative research on pressing educational issues.
We believe that schools can only be transformed when educators work with and learn from parents and youth to achieve social and economic justice.
