Respect Agenda
Join Our Union

The Texas AFT Associate Membership Program (AMP) is an introductory membership program for Texas AFT that gives educators statewide a voice on issues, even when they don’t yet have a local union. Learn more by calling 1-800-222-3827.

Hear from Texas AFT AMP members on why they chose to join.

AMP membership offers discounted dues rates while maintaining high-quality union benefits.

We represent K-12 educators and support professionals working in districts that do not yet have a local AFT union. We don’t accept administrators as members.

Texas AFT AMP aims to build local unions capable of sustainably representing all members. By supporting local efforts to create a deeper and broader understanding of employee rights and union organizing, we can give school employees the vision and the vehicle needed to defend their rights and those of their colleagues.
