CTA's organization ensures that every member has a voice and a vote in determining our union's values, goals and leaders. CTA members built, maintain and enhance this structure to advocate for, support and defend the public schools our students and communities deserve. Every member has a voice.

That's 310,000 just in California from nearly 1,100 chapters. Everyone has a voice and critical role in our union. Individuals and all of the diversity we bring to our union are central to our collective strength — in local bargaining campaigns and solving issues at our worksites and all the way up to our advocacy in the state Capitol. Together, we are a force to be reckoned with. One strong union of 310,000 educators!
