"Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, …If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results."
- Eugene V. Debs
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Following the immortal advice of Eugene Debs, we have dedicated this web site to the tenants of solidarity: pronouncing our interest and commitment to the future of education and the union’s place in it; clarifying the vision of leaving no child, parent, or teacher behind; honestly answering our critics while divulging their true intent; and standing together as we face adversity and rejoice in our victories.
