AFT SUMMER CONFERENCE
In July, RHFA President April Montgomery and First Vice President Kyle Pogemiller-Kermani represented the RHFA at the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) TEACH Conference in Washington, D.C.
The four-day conference opened with AFT Lobby Day, where educators from across the country met with senators and representatives to lobby for public education
April and Kyle met with Senate Majority Leader and New York Senator Chuck Schumer, as well as education liaisons from Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s and Congressman Pat Ryan’s offices. All three officials have demonstrated strong support for public education.
​​
While in Washington, they also participated in a town hall with Senator Bernie Sanders, AFT President Randi Weingarten, and classroom educators and SRPs. During the event, Senator Sanders introduced his Pay Teachers Act, which would establish a nationwide minimum salary of $60,000 for educators.
