The National Education Association (NEA)

The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest professional organization for educators in the United States, representing teachers, education support professionals, and other school staff. Founded in 1857, the NEA advocates for public education, supports teachers' rights, and promotes better working conditions in schools.

Through collective action and lobbying, the NEA aims to enhance the quality of education and ensure that all students have access to equitable learning opportunities.
