Last chance to vote for EDU convention delegates

Support EDU candidates for the CFT and AFT conventions and the NEA Rep Assembly

(see candidates names below)

We are committed to mobilizing together with families, students, and labor to fight budget cuts and the nationwide attack on public education and working people.

We pledge to organize now to demand that SFUSD use its $58 million in reserve to prevent layoffs and rescind furlough days.

In the CFT we pledge to oppose the governor’s plan to pay for education through a sales tax increase that hurts working families. We support the Millionaires Tax and will continue to fight to make corporations pay taxes to fully fund public services.

In the NEA and AFT we will fight any attempts to allow teacher pay and evaluation to be linked to student test scores. We stand for authentic assessment for students and evaluations designed to improve practice, not to punish. We support demands to defund U.S. wars and occupation; money for schools, not for war.

You should have already received your ballot by mail. Ballots are due in the UESF office by Monday March 12, 5 p.m. Please take a moment to vote EDU!
