Hey, NYSUT Members in Long Island! We want YOU to be a part of the plan to build the strongest union in history!
Join the NYSUT Member Organizing Institute.

With attacks on public schools and colleges coming from both the state and federal level, it's sometimes challenging to have your voice heard and to make a difference. That's why NYSUT founded the Member Organizing Institute. Launched in the summer of 2017, we are rapidly building our statewide network of member organizers who will take a leading role in the campaign to promote our members' rights and fight for educational justice!
