EACH YEAR, our union honors members, CTA chapters and Service Center Councils with CTA Human Rights Awards. The awards celebrate the diversity of racial equity and social justice work that CTA members create, challenge and participate in. From creating safer spaces and environments for their students and school sites, to programs that help address needs of the whole child, our awardees make the world a better place and strengthen our bonds within CTA and with our students and communities.

“We recognize the outstanding contributions our 2025 Human Rights Award winners have made in uplifting racial and social justice in their classrooms and schools and in their communities,” said CTA President David Goldberg. “Their impact on students and public education, our union and labor movement, and our greater society has been deep and enduring.”

This year’s awardees will be honored at a gala dinner at the Equity & Human Rights Conference on March 8 in Santa Clara. To view awardees’ acceptance videos, visit youtube.com/CaliforniaTeachers. To learn more about CTA’s Human Rights Awards, visit cta.org/awards.
