American Teachers Alliance Launches Fall Campaign as a Trusted Non-Union Option for Educators

National organization proves alternative to left-wing school unions, offering legal protections, professional resources, and community support for America's teachers and school staff

CARY, N.C., Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Teachers Alliance (ATA), the nation's leading non-union alternative to politicized teachers' unions, today announced the launch of its Fall 2025 Campaign, a nationwide initiative to empower and protect educators, strengthen parent partnerships, and restore excellence to America's classrooms.

As teacher frustration mounts over unions using membership dollars to underwrite extreme ideologies, ideological trainings, and divisive mandates, ATA provides a principled and affordable full-service home for professionals committed to unbiased, academically sound education grounded in traditional values—without political coercion. "We can help teachers who want to leave their unions take the steps necessary to do so. Since 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court Janus v. AFSCME decision made it possible for public-sector employees to opt out of their unions," said Marshall.

"Our nation's teachers should never be forced to choose between their careers and their values," said Amy Marshall, M.Ed., Executive Director and Founder of the American Teachers Alliance." Marshall founded ATA in 2021 after resigning her high school teaching position from North Carolina's largest school district over forced DEI training in which teachers were deliberately separated by race and instructed to complete "white privilege" assignments," said Marshall.

Protecting Teachers in a Politicized Climate

ATA plays a critical role in shielding educators from political witch hunts, cancel culture, and retaliation for standing up for their convictions. The organization provides professional educators liability coverage, legal protections, unique benefits, and advocacy, ensuring teachers and school staff are protected. ATA offers tiered membership plans for school staff and parents.

"After my resignation I wanted to create job protection and a safety net for teachers who did not agree with the extreme and divisive political teacher trainings that schools were requiring, and American Teachers Alliance was born. Over the past four years, we've had proof of concept, handling job-related legal claims of our members, which have resulted in attorney fee reimbursements to our members, credentialling restorations, and job reinstatements. ATA provides educators with protections, unique benefits, advocacy, and resources so they can thrive professionally without bankrolling political causes. Students deserve classrooms where academics—not politics—take center stage," said Marshall.
