Now, more than ever, we must stand together in solidarity.

Your colleagues at AFT-Kansas have written this survey to understand how the pandemic is affecting each of us. Not just at work but also at home, including our daily routines, access to resources, plans for the future, and overall health of ourselves and families. Right now, as our state and local governments are scrambling to create emergency policies, we must use our union power to advocate for the best policies for our union members and our families. At the same time, as many of our normal routines and resources have been disrupted, we want to match our collective resources with the needs of our members and families. Share your voice by completing this ten minute survey right now.
