ICYMI: Teacher Unions and Leftist Non-Profits use Teachers as Unsuspecting Campaign Workers
Vaccine initiative wants teachers to track student/family vaccine status in app created for AOC campaign
Back in August of 2021, a whistleblower NJ teacher approached We Are New Jersey with slides and live transcript from a presentation coordinated by the National Education Association/American Federation of Teachers in coordination with Civic Nation’s Made to Save initiative on behalf of the Biden Administration. The administration asked for assistance getting YOUR family vaccinated through the use of emotional manipulation tactics that prey upon unwitting families. Teachers are trusted by parents, the NEA reasoned, and would be a perfect messenger for the COVID-19 vaccine. Teachers are even being incentivized with gift cards to inform on you through the use of an app called Reach.

What is Reach?
The About page of their site states, "We built Reach for the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign as a tool for ourselves after we realized traditional door-to-door canvassing methods were limiting who we were talking to and when we were able to effectively collect data in the field. This is a part of how we won, and now we want to share it with other progressive campaigns."
To reiterate, a tool used exclusively for progressive campaigns is now being repurposed for use in your school in what we can only assume is an attempt for Progressives to identify voters. Teachers, who are not medical professionals, are being encouraged to counsel parents and students to get vaccinated and tracking conversations using a canvassing tool for progressive campaign workers while being paid with your tax dollars.
What is the Made to Save initiative created by Civic Nation?
In an excerpt from an email sent to teachers by the NEA in August 2021, the union describes the initiative (emphasis added):
“We, along with AFT, are partnering with Made to Save and the Biden administration to help get the word out about the importance of vaccinating our students aged 12 and up. Over the past year, NEA has focused on prioritizing the vaccination of our members, and now with the help of the Administration, nearly 90% of educators are vaccinated! This number is in contrast to 70% of the general population of adults; 42% of Americans age 12-17 years; and 53% of Americans age 18-24 (having received at least one dose).
We know our students and families trust their educators and we believe our members will be important messengers on this issue as students head back to school.
Next week Made to Save is hosting a special training for educators on Tuesday, August 10th, where attendees will receive useful resources to discuss COVID vaccines with caregivers, students and others in their communities.”
Who is Civic Nation?
The website states, “Civic Nation drives real, meaningful change by shifting culture, systems, and policy. We organize at every level and serve as a connector — of people and programs, of grassroots activists and leaders of industries and organizations, of ideas and the resources to make them reality.”
Who is Board Chair for Civic Nation?
Obama confidante, Valerie Jarrett
Who is Valerie Jarrett?
Judicial Watch provides more insight, “Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.”
“It’s been well documented that Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago lawyer and longtime Obama confidant, is a liberal extremist who wields tremendous power in the White House. Faithful to her roots, she still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshal Davis, a big Obama mentor and Communist Party member with an extensive FBI file.”
WANJ Alerts Legacy Media
When We Are New Jersey received these materials from the whistleblower, we immediately mobilized to inform the establishment media so we could reach as many people as possible. NO ONE responded or covered the story at that time - not even conservative outlets. Ask yourself why. It’s simple, really. An educated and engaged citizen is dangerous to the status quo.
Due to our social media efforts and word of mouth, many schools in NJ restricted their teachers from participating in this program. Had the “mainstream” media done their job, perhaps more parents across the country would have been alerted to the manipulative tactics ready to be deployed on them and their child at the onset of this school year.
