"I’m Here" to Help
The MTA LGBTQ+ Committee recently ordered "I’m here" badges that educators can wear on their lanyards to show support for LGBTQ+ students and staff and demonstrate that they’re a safe person to speak to.
MTA locals are invited to order them through the NEA LGBTQ+ Caucus at www.nea-lgbtqc.org/imhere.html. The cost is $2 per badge with the NEA Benefits brand or $2.50 if co-branded with the local union. MTA locals can apply for All In or PR&O grant funds to help pay for these.
MTA branding on designs for 3-inch buttons and stickers are also available and can be printed by MTA Printing and Mailing or outside vendors, depending on the order size. Contact the LGBTQ+ Committee for more information at mtalgbtq@gmail.com.
