On Veterans Day, we honor the courage and sacrifices of all who have served. We also thank and appreciate the veterans who serve as educators and ESPs in California's public schools! Our students are fortunate to learn from you. 🇺🇸

We lost a giant. Former CTA President Ed Foglia has passed away. He led educators to pass Prop 98 in 1988 and fought for safer schools after the 1989 Stockton shooting. Every California student still benefits from his work. Rest in power, Ed. Our hearts are with his family.
A smiling person is sitting in an office chair, dressed in a suit and tie. The text reads: "Rest in Power. Ed Foglia, CTA President, 1978-1982 and 1986-1990. Longest-serving President of the California Teachers Association. Champion of Proposition 98.

We did it! We knocked on more than 400,000 doors in communities big and small to protect our schools and healthcare. Richard Barrera holds a strong lead for State Superintendent of Public Instruction and our school board candidates are looking good across the state.

Prop 3 passed! This is union power. We knocked on nearly 400,000 doors in communities big and small and talked with our neighbors about what was at stake for our schools. Together we protected billions of dollars for our students every year, and now it’s permanent.

We’re seeing victories across the country, and things are looking good in California, too. We should all be proud of the work we put in to elect Richard Barrera for SPI, pass Prop. 3, and support the countless local candidates and measures.

Go vote Yes on Prop 3 before 8 PM! Then text one friend and make sure they did too! Prop 3 keeps billions in our schools and educators in our classrooms, but only if we show up.

"Years from now, our students will have to live with the consequences of the choices we make during this election," says UTLA President Gloria Martinez. We know if Prop. 3 fails, our students will endure the consequences. Read more from EdSource at edsource.org/2026/propositio…

What do our public schools deserve? Ask the educators who show up for them every day. If Prop 3 fails, 1 in 6 educators could lose their jobs. That’s fewer teachers in our kids’ classrooms. Vote YES on Prop 3!
