American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten is set to hold a virtual event Tuesday promoting her new book on educators battling "fascist regimes" — an appearance that comes less than a week after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, reportedly motivated by anti-fascist ideology.

The virtual event is slated to kick off at 4 p.m. Eastern Time Tuesday and is hosted by a group called Emerge, a liberal nonprofit that "recruits, trains, and provides a powerful network to Democratic women who want to run for office," according to its website.

The event will focus on Weingarten's new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers ," and will be joined by Emerge President and CEO A’shanti F. Gholar.
