Early birds at the 3rd....

PFT General Membership meeting of the 2025-2026 school year.... C'mon down members!

Reminder for tomorrow for PFT members and Retirees to join millions of protesters across thousands of No Kings events nationwide ...

12:00 pm City/County Bldg.

When we organize, pressure works!

Last year, educators across the country helped stop federal cuts to education and protected civil rights regulations from being erased. This year, we continue that fight — together.

The work is not done.

Our participation at NO KINGS is simple: our communities deserve safety, dignity, and stability. Immigration raids are injecting fear into schools, hospitals, and campuses — places that should be safe for learning, care, and belonging.

Join us at the PFT or the Firstside Park if you want to attend the event with PFT colleagues.

Join millions and be heard!!!
