Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month

From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we celebrate Latino Americans and the accomplishments of those who identify as having a Hispanic heritage. Hispanics have played major roles in creating, strengthening and protecting Texas and the United States.

Racial and Social Justice

The Texas State Teachers Association believes that the path to racial and social justice lies with education. We have compiled resources you can use that amplify and celebrate racial and social equity in our schools, meaningful allyship and restorative justice.

WEP_GPO must go
WEP-GPO must go!

Many educators have their Social Security benefits reduced—or lose them entirely—due to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). Help us ensure that educators get the Social Security benefits they’ve earned. Ask Congress to fully repeal both the GPO and WEP.
