The UFT Executive Board recommends to VOTE NO on all six ballot proposals in the 2025 General Election to protect our communities, preserve local democracy, and ensure that power remains where it belongs—with the people of New York City.

The UFT will initiate coordination, collaboration, member-to-member education and dialogue, and other joint initiatives with AFT and NEA local and national bodies to defeat the attacks of the federal government on public education.

The United Federation of Teachers will use its resources, advocacy, and voice to support the return of public school space to public schools.

The Delegate Assembly of the UFT votes to encourage members of all titles to sign the petition to support the Respect Check legislation, alert parent associations about how parents can show support, and hold a day of action on November 13th, 2025.

The UFT Delegate Assembly voted in favor of the NYCE PPO plan and directed UFT President Michael Mulgrew to likewise vote in favor at the appointed Municipal Labor Committee meeting.

Public school students and educators deserve a mayor who listens and responds to their concerns, and city workers deserve a mayor who prioritizes affordability and quality of life. Zohran Mamdani is the candidate who will best serve this city.
