Locals organize and win across the state By Julian Peeples United, We Are Strong! T H E C O L L E C T I V E P O W E R o f o r g a n i z e d e d u c a t o r s i s u n s t o p p a b l e ! The 2024–25 school year was filled with victories fueled by our commitment to each other in our local unions, dedi- cation to our students, communities and our fight for public education. We also worked together to defend vulnerable com- munities from continued extremist attacks following Trump's inauguration in January. "We are the kind of union that can win at the bargaining table, fight layoffs, extend Proposition 55, secure state funding and protect our most vulnerable students from federal attacks. A union that dares to struggle — and dares to win," CTA Vice Pres- ident Leslie Littman says. From inspiring strikes by union educators to our continued fight to protect all students from attacks at both local and federal levels to our historic 2024 election campaign, CTA con- tinues to lead the way in the fight back against extremism and the fight forward for the public schools and community colleges all students deserve. Check out these amazing victories by union educators over the past school year. On Nov. 3, Natomas Teachers Assn. members knocked on over 1,000 doors in support of NTA-endorsed candidates. 11 S U M M E R 2 0 2 5 Year in Review #Union Strong S P E C I A L I S S U E 2 0 2 5
