California educators have a long history of standing up for their students, profession, communities and one another. Our movement has drawn tremendous strength from colleagues’ recent actions in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina and Washington. But what made (and is still making) #RedForEd in California so potent is a winning strategy based on bargaining for the common good:
Giving students the public education they deserve, and educators the tools they need, benefit the entire community, not just our members. We’ve seen this with multiple CTA locals across the state, where we have worked hard to build relationships with parents and community and a network of support around the common good. “Time and again, we show that our unity is unbreakable, our solidarity is invincible, and our collective action is unstoppable when we stand together,\” says CTA President Eric Heins. \”When we fight together, we win!\””
