This week, as we count our blessings and give thanks for our family and friends, I’m asking you to consider those in our CTA family who have recently experienced amazing loss and trauma from the deadliest wildfires in California’s history. Many lost homes, classrooms, entire schools. Some lost friends, neighbors and pets.
As the smoke settles and people get the first glimpse of what remains, what is clear is that our union brothers and sisters need our support. There’s a long road ahead, but they will not have to do it alone.
Please consider donating this holiday season so that educators who lost their homes feel the love and know that they are part of a family that takes care of one another.
READ ABOUT OUR RESILIENT MEMBERS:
• We visit the fire zone and a makeshift classroom in the days following the Butte County fire!

• CTA Disaster Relief Fund is here for those that need it
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
