The National Education Association raised $27 million for the 2024 election trying to stop Donald Trump.
Now the same union is gearing up for another fight against the President.
What happened inside the Denver convention center is the reason Congress is moving to strip the NEA's federal charter.
NEA Denver Convention Voted to Impeach Trump and Fund a National March
Nearly 7,000 NEA delegates gathered at their annual Representative Assembly in Denver and what they voted to do should make every parent in America furious.
Buried in their agenda was New Business Item 10: a formal resolution calling for the impeachment, conviction, and removal of President Donald Trump from office.
Not a protest sign outside union headquarters. Official policy debated and ratified at the national convention.
It didn't stop there.
The resolution calls for a "National March on Washington D.C." to physically pressure Congress into removing Trump before the November 2026 midterm elections.
The price tag written into the resolution: $5,236,193 – drawn directly from member dues.
School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis obtained the internal documents before the NEA could bury them and broke the story on X.
The union's own cost analysis admitted this "cannot be accomplished with current staff and resources" – meaning they want to blow more than five million dollars on a political stunt that has zero constitutional path to success.
NEA Teachers Union Spends Four Times More on Democrat Politics Than Teacher Representation
The union spent nearly $450 million in 2025.
It spent just $46 million – roughly 10 cents of every dollar – representing the teachers who paid those dues.
It spent nearly four times that amount, $175 million, on politics and contributions to left-wing organizations.
NEA President Rebecca Pringle pulled in $514,000 that same year – nearly seven times the average teacher's salary.
A Defending Education investigation found that the NEA and AFT combined directed $669 million in dues and PAC money toward left-wing causes, campaign committees, and organizations fighting school choice since 2015.
The NEA's PAC poured $27 million into the 2024 election cycle – virtually all of it backing Democrats.
It donated $3 million directly to the Harris campaign and sent $2.5 million to the main pro-Harris super PAC.
Trump won 312 electoral votes. Harris carried 226.
Now the NEA wants another run at him – this time with a march on Washington – funded by money that was supposed to protect teachers in contract disputes.
Educational Reparations and the NEA Federal Charter Fight Are Both on the 2026 Ballot
The NEA wasn't just voting on marches.
Delegates also approved a resolution directing the NEA president to write the Congressional Black Caucus introducing Resolution I-62 – "Educational Reparations" – a plan to eliminate property-tax-based school funding and redirect dollars based on race.
That is not a fringe motion that got shouted down. It passed at the official convention.
If Democrats take the House in November 2026, the NEA will have spent tens of millions of dollars installing the legislators who will pass this agenda.
And the union will expect a return on its investment.
The impeachment march was just the headline. The reparations vote sitting underneath it tells the longer story about where the NEA intends to take public education.
The NEA dropped the pretense of being a labor organization. At this point it is a political operation using America's classrooms as its base.
The NEA holds a federal charter – granted by Congress in 1906 – specifically to "elevate the character and advance the interests of the profession of teaching."
Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, are already moving to revoke that charter.
Five million dollars marching on Washington won't help a single classroom.
The kids sitting in those classrooms are being taught by union members whose dues just funded a political coup attempt against the president their parents elected.
The same operation that burned $27 million trying to elect Kamala Harris is already loading up for another run. This time they want Trump gone before voters get a chance to weigh in.
