Teachers

As members of CalSTRS we need to let our voices, and just as important, the wealth we generate collectively from our devoted work with our students, be heard and used to help better shape the future. 

What we need are individuals that can help us give all California teachers an opportunity to read and sign this resolution. This can be as simple as sending the petition link in an email, talking to your colleagues face to face and collecting signatures on a printed petition, or you could create an affinity group to press the divestment issue in your area. 

You or your affinity group can talk to your local union representatives and explain to them that you and other teachers want the union to stand behind the divestment from fossil fuels. You can also, go to the school board meeting and let them know that you know it is time for teachers to defend their students future and pass a resolution to divest from fossil fuels.


This is a grassroots movement! Having coordinators at each level insures every teacher has had the opportunity to sign. Please contact us at  ct4ff.coord@gmail.com, if you want to coordinate at any level. Will also be keep a list of people who contact us in different areas; if you wish to have your email shared with partners in your area let us know.
