CFT Finding unity and building power at the
2025 CFT Convention
Petaluma Federation sent seven voting delegates to the 2025 CFT Convention in San Diego this year. From CFT.org: Hundreds of delegates at the CFT convention at the Westin San Diego Gaslamp debated and voted on resolutions like “Oppose All Efforts to Privatize Social Security and Support Efforts to Stabilize the System,” “Ending Tax Breaks and Subsidies for Fossil Fuels in California,” and “Increase Public Funding for the University of California.” They attended workshops such as “Education Code Basics,” “Bringing Resources to the Immigrant Community by Empowering our Members,” and “Winning Local School Board Elections.” They also heard from two panels — “Organizing to Win in Sunol Glen,” about the town’s successful recall of two school board trustees who banned the Pride flag at the school, and “How We Fight Back” with AFT leaders from Michigan and Texas.
