First lady Jill Biden, in Minnesota on Friday, will launch Educators for Biden-Harris -- a national organizing program intended to engage and mobilize teachers, school staff and parents to vote for President Joe Biden, the Biden-Harris campaign shared exclusively with ABC News.
Kicking off the coalition in an evening speech to educators at the Education Minnesota Convention in Bloomington, the first lady, a classroom teacher for over 30 years, will brand her husband as "the education president."
"You deserve a president who recognizes your service," the first lady will say, according to excerpts from the Biden-Harris campaign. "Who understands that the work doesn't end when the afternoon bell rings each day, who sees the early morning bus routes and piles of papers to grade, the care you give to every sick student and the extra granola bars you keep handy, because someone might come to school hungry… A president who matches your devotion with his own."
"That person is my husband, Joe Biden. He knows what educators go through every day. He respects us. He empowers us. And he's never going to stop fighting for us," read excerpts from the first lady's speech. "You saw that four years ago when you placed your faith in him, and he's never taken it for granted."
