Classified Professionals Turning Pages, Building Power
On Saturday, April 24, kids in the Lawndale school district got to pick three free books for preschoolers through 8th graders, on topics ranging from history to biography to science as well as fiction. There were Disney books and chapter books for older kids — such as the 20-book Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney, who has sold more than 300 million copies — more than the number of albums Led Zeppelin has sold.

A note from the editor
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.
