Organizing to Win Advisory

Organizing is the most effective strategy for building power to make meaningful change in our work and personal lives. It is primarily through organizing campaigns expanding our base and building power that educators and communities can improve the conditions of teaching and learning; win the public education all our students deserve; and secure a more just, equitable, and democratic society. Central to building a stronger union is organizing around issues educators and communities care about, expanding our leadership base, and cultivating hope that we can make public education better for all educators and students.

During these trying times, it’s also important to remember that internal union democracy, member agency, and fighting for social/racial justice for our students and communities is foundational for winning the schools all students deserve.  There are many ongoing organizing opportunities, such as the CTA/NEA community schools program and building community coalitions, that are included in this updated Organizing Advisory.

When We Organize, We Win!

Remember, the power to change your local lies in the ability of your local union to build power through organizing. Reach out to your CTA Primary Contact Staff and C4OB  Organizer for support and experienced guidance to help you win your campaign and build   a stronger union.
