The New England Policy Team developed AFT New England’s 2025-26 Policy Platform to set clear priorities for upcoming state legislative sessions. The Platform was informed by a broad range of input, including AFT research, regional policy analysis, AFT staff and external partners surveys, and interviews with AFT New England staff.
