The National Education Association’s incoming president, Princess Moss, laid out an organizing-centered agenda after winning her first term at NEA’s Representative Assembly. In an interview, Moss described priorities for her first 100 days as “organize, organize, organize,” emphasizing deliberate engagement with members rather than leadership from behind a desk. Her remarks also placed educator activism in the context of current policy fights, including immigration enforcement pressures on schools. The Representative Assembly set initiatives and legislative priorities for the year, and delegates also approved measures tied to immigrant teachers and organizing support for state and local affiliates. For universities with teacher-prep pipelines and K–12 partnerships, NEA’s focus on labor capacity and policy response will likely shape school staffing and classroom conditions that affect student readiness for postsecondary transitions.
