Dear supporters of TRA Tier II (hired after July 1, 1989) pension reform, 

This year is our best chance to get pension reform. Please find a way to share this with all your district educators. It is important that all TRA members learn and advocate for a better pension. We need our voices to be heard loud and clear.

Our Facebook group is at 9,000 concerned educators with close to 25,000 on the petition. 

Thank you for sharing this with your district educators and others around Minnesota: 

How does having the option of retiring up to 9 years early, receiving a larger retirement pension each year for the rest of your life, and/or trying a new career, like many Tier I retirees, sound to you? These options can happen in addition to retaining mid-career educators and attracting new ones. If this sounds good, could you please take action and write to your TRA board members? With a forecasted $12 billion Minnesota surplus, a former teacher governor, a seemly pro-education house and senate, and a budgetary year in the 2023 legislature, please take action now. 

Educate your legislators and yourself on your poor Tier II (hired after July 1, 1989) pension by viewing this video: https://youtu.be/9Z3TBEru7VE

Sign up for the EDMN pension action updates. We need action from ALL Tier II members. Sign up here to make your voice heard: https://educationminnesota.org/news/uncategorized/pension-form/
Share this with all the educators in your school and district. Then send it to all your educator friends around Minnesota.

There are three types of people in this world; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen (and want to teach until age 66), and those who wonder what happened (and want to teach until age 66). What will you choose between now and the end of the 2023 legislative session? 

*The few who teach until 66 by choice are in the first group.
