American Federation of Teachers-Kansas

Reclaiming the Promise Starts in Wichita

The AFT launched its national campaign to reclaim the promise of high-quality public services during a March 13 visit to Kansas, which, like too many other states, has slashed taxes for corporations and the wealthy while cutting and privatizing public services.

"We are fighting back against policies that are just plain bad for Americans and fighting forward with a vision for America in which we reclaim the promise of public services for strong communities," says AFT Secretary-Treasurer Lorretta Johnson.

As we know only too well, who Kansans elect has a direct impact on our lives—on our paychecks, our pensions, our rights, and our having the resources and voice to do our jobs right.
