We marched in Albany and Utica. We marched in New York City and Glens Falls. We rallied in Buffalo, the Adirondacks and Seneca Falls. On the first anniversary of the ground-breaking Women’s Marches of 2017 this past weekend, NYSUT members raised their voices in solidarity at events across the state, speaking out against injustice, and reaffirming the strength of women, the labor movement and the power of an engaged and informed electorate.

NYSUT Women's Committee Resources
Following the success of the inaugural NYSUT Women’s Conference in March 2017, “Speak Up, Stand Up, Step Up,” delegates to the 2017 Representative Assembly made the Ad Hoc Women's Steering Committee a permanent standing committee. The group is composed of NYSUT board members, local leaders and grassroots NYSUT activists.
In December, the standing committee adopted four committee goals for the months ahead:
- developing a mentoring toolkit for young members;
- preparing a “Why in Five” card for women and men about sexual harassment;
- highlighting stories about female union members; and
- having a woman’s committee booth at the NYSUT Representative Assembly.
