Over the break one of our teachers at CCMS became very ill. A go fund me page has been set up to help the family with medical costs. Thank you. #culverstrong #unionstrong gofundme.com/f/help-luisa-r…

Thanks to the nearly 2,500 CFT members who sent a letter to their congressional reps in the last 24 hours urging their YES vote on #HR82. On to the U.S. Senate! On to the U.S. Senate! 3/3 3

#HR82 is a critical piece of legislation that would repeal the WEP/GPO penalties that substantially reduce or eliminate the EARNED Social Security benefits of thousands of CFT members and retirees. 2/3

Fantastic news! #HR82, the Social Security Fairness Act, just passed out of the U.S. House today with an overwhelming majority! 1/3

Take action now! Congress votes Tuesday on #HR82, to repeal the WEP/GPO penalties that hurt so many CFT members by taking a portion of their hard earned social security. Congress needs to hear from us TODAY! actionnetwork.org/letters/yes-on…

Gross! JD Vance's comments are sad and insulting to millions of modern families, and school teachers including Catholic nuns, none of whom should be targeted for their family decisions.

Great news! CFT co-sponsored #AB2586 is on its way to the Governor's desk! This important legislation, authored by @AsmDavidAlvarez, would allow undocumented students to work at all CA community colleges, CSUs, and UCs!

Time to get to work!

“Our working conditions are students’ learning conditions,” says @CFTunion President Jeffery Freitas of California’s proposed #indoorheat protections for workers. @youngsamantha reports ⤵️ californiahealthline.org/news/article/c…

Words cannot express how grateful I am for everyone who showed up today in support of #AB1955 in Senate Education Committee. Emotions were high, but I know we all want the best for our children. The SAFETY Act ensures that students and teachers can focus on a safe and supportive learning environment, while leaving conversations about gender and sexuality at home where they belong. As a parent myself, I encourage all parents to talk and listen to their children, and love them unconditionally for who they are. The SAFETY Act now heads to Senate Appropriations.

CFT applauds BUSD Superintendent Enikia Ford Morthel for her testimony today before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Her strength and resolve is a testament to the leadership she brings to Berkeley’s public schools. @BerkeleyUnified

NEW: @CalPERS OPPOSES Taxpayer Deception Act in near-unanimous vote. Board Pres. Theresa Taylor doesn’t hold back: “It’s appalling that the same multi-billion-dollar real estate interests seeking to invest CalPERS’ members’ money are trying to defund those members’ pensions.”
