      Transcript

      ANNCR: In a world of uncertainty, New York City's children count on us.

      We're the United Federation of Teachers, the UFT.

      We want what kids need.

      That’s why we’re fighting for smaller class sizes. Fewer students mean more one-on-one attention.

      We’re strengthening special education and …

      ... boosting hands-on learning, so every child can reach their full potential.

      And we’re working hard to keep all our kids safe.

      No matter the challenges, we get it done.

      Every single day.
