Dear John,

Prop. 13 bond will bring $15 billion to ensure our schools are safe

There’s nothing more important than safe and modern schools to provide a successful learning environment for our students. That’s exactly why educators, school workers, parents, and school supporters strongly support Prop. 13, the school safety bond.

The bond, which bears no relation to Prop. 13 from 1978, will bring in $15 billion to ensure that we provide healthy, safe, and educationally appropriate school infrastructure for our children and students.

Deep pockets are spending big to stop the Prop. 13 bond, trying to confuse voters and stop this important investment in our schools. It’s up to us to make sure it passes. Learn more about the school safety bond.

Take the pledge to vote your values!

It’s never been more important to stand up for fully funded, accessible, and equitable schools. As educators, classified professionals, and faculty, we’re committed to our students, our communities, and each other. Our voice makes a difference for quality public education—we’re stronger together.

Please take the CFT pledge to vote your values and be a voice for public education in California.
