MTA TODAY past covers
Published: September 2025

We invite members to submit first-person articles, or perspectives, on issues relating to public education. We publish these articles under the heading "More Than Words" and they are clearly labeled as a contributor’s opinion. To be considered for publication, articles must be written by the author and must be original work.

The author must be a current member of the MTA. The length should be no more than 1,000 words. A photograph of the author will be scheduled prior to publication. We reserve the right to edit all submissions, including for uniformity with union goals, clarity, length and style. The editor will work with writers who submit for publication, but not all submissions will be accepted for publication.

If interested, please submit your writing, as well as contact information, [email protected].

For the first time, Education Support Professionals had their own day of solidarity building and collaboration at the MTA Summer Conference. Held on a Sunday, because so many ESPs are forced by low wages to work additional jobs, the day encouraged members to reflect on their strengths and challenges as union members.
