Advocating for Change

Creating Great Public Schools starts with you.
We need to address our growing teacher shortage in a multi-faceted and strategic way. This includes affordable healthcare and a living wage for all educators and support staff along with more funding for schools so our students can thrive. Here’s how you can help.
Educators and Education Support Professionals have been expected to treat their profession like a passion for far too long. Every person who works in a public school deserves a safe workplace, respect, and fair salary and benefits. This is how we protect you and your workplace.

Support Student Success

If we want to give all of our students the leadership they deserve, we need to elect champions who will fight for our neighborhood public schools.

So, what is EMAC?

The Ethnic Minority Affairs Committee, otherwise known as EMAC, is a program committee that makes recommendations to the governing bodies on matters of concern to the constituencies that they represent.

Educator Voice

There is strength in numbers, and the more NEA-NM members and allies speaking up for our educators, education support professionals, and students, the stronger our public schools will be.
New Mexico's educational future is bright because of the professionals, families, and communities who demand excellence for our children.
Quote by: Bethany Jarrell, Ninety-ninth president of NEA-New Mexico
