This November 3, equity, justice, and fairness are on the ballot at the local, state, and national level. That is why we are helping to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. If you are ready to do your part, please consider joining our upcoming phone banks where we will contact fellow AFT members in Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona about the presidential election and the critical Senate elections taking place in those states.
CFT members who have participated in national phone banks have reported that it has been a great experience, including Tina Solorzano Fletcher from AFT local 1931, who called voters in the swing state of Michigan.
“With so much at stake in this election, I felt I needed to do more than just vote,” says Tina. “Participating in the Educators for Biden phone bank gave me the opportunity to have real conversations with voters in Michigan. It’s only a couple hours of your time but you leave knowing you made a difference.”

Amber Parrish Baur from UFCW Western States Council to join Friday’s Facebook Live broadcast at 3:00 p.m.
On Friday’s CFT Facebook Live Broadcast at 3:00 p.m., CFT President Jeff Freitas will be joined by Amber Parrish Baur, the Executive Director of the UFCW Western States Council.
Amber is joining Jeff to talk about Proposition 22, the initiative backed by Uber, Lyft, and Doordash that would allow corporations to deny workers basic employment rights and protections. They will discuss the united labor effort to defeat this bad-faith measure that will hurt workers, not only in the “gig economy,” but potentially in all sectors.
To tune in, please head to the CFT Facebook page on Friday at 3:00pm!
Jeffery M. Freitas, President
Luukia Smith, Secretary-Treasurer | L. Lacy Barnes, Senior Vice President
