LOCKED OUT!!!!We just tried to deliver 80k #Comments4Betsy to @usedgov. We told them we were coming. We asked for an appointment. Instead they locked out educators, parents and students - @BetsyDeVosED refusing to even accept the comments much less read or respond to them.

I'm here to talk about what it means to be politically engaged, esp where it starts: at home. Our future lies in local organizing. #AFT100
