Standing Together for Education.
Early in the morning of June 28,1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village, a place where gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people gathered. Police officers entered the club, roughed up patrons and arrested 13 people, including employees and people violating the state’s gender-appropriate clothing statute.
The month of May was chosen to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States on May 7, 1843, during the beginning of the California Gold Rush. It also marks the anniversary of the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869. Most of the workers who laid the tracks that connected the frontier to the rest of the country were Chinese immigrants.

CFT – A Union of Educators and Classified Professionals announced today that their members voted to endorse Al Muratsuchi for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
As Assembly Education Committee Chair, a community college educator, and a union member, Muratsuchi has a long record of working alongside educators, classified professionals, and organized labor to strengthen public education — from early childhood and K-12 schools to California’s community colleges.
Across California, educators and classified professionals are already in motion—and building power in real time.
This issue of CFT United brings those stories together: from the surge of May Day organizing, to hard-won contract gains, to getting books into students’ hands and defending our schools. None of this is isolated. It’s connected, deliberate, and growing. The task in front of us is not to wait for momentum—it’s to deepen it, and make it impossible to ignore. And CFT is doing that every day.
