Do You Have a Student with an Emergency Financial Need?
TAUP has been asked to administer the FAST Fund, a fund for students with an urgent financial need that might challenge their ability to remain in school. Please share information about this resource with your students, as you may not be aware of all of your students’ needs.

Come to a Working People’s Day of Action, Feb. 24th
February 24th marks the 50th anniversary of the first march in Memphis for the rights of sanitation workers; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated while supporting their cause. As we continue to honor Dr. King, we continue to struggle for the rights of the people against racism, against the concentration of wealth and power that threatens to silence workers’ rights and democracy, and against other threats facing our nation and world.
