If you are a grad student without a GE this term feel free to either a) fill this form out for a GE you had a different term or b) fill out this form for your grad student or research duties only.

The GTFF stands in solidarity with the workers of

The GTFF stands in solidarity with the workers of The Rawlin at Riverbend Memory Care assisted living facility in Springfield, OR in their strike for union recognition and workplace safety. We strongly support their efforts to unionize and push for protections in response to dangerous working conditions and living conditions for residents during the COVID-19 outbreak.

We invite all members to sign up for a picket line shift this week and fill out the GTFF volunteer form to help distribute food and supplies during the strike (both linked in our bio). For those who want to support the strike but cannot participate in person, we encourage you to share the workers’ social media posts, sign their petition, and join their Facebook Live broadcasts.

Today we remember Karen Lewis, a former president

Today we remember Karen Lewis, a former president of Chicago Teachers Union who was instrumental in revitalizing CTU and the broader union movement through community organizing and social movement unionism.

Lewis, a high school chemistry teacher, was elected president of CTU in 2010. She and the Caucus of Rank-and-File Educators (CORE) in CTU fought against a giant wave of school closings in Chicago by building rank-and-file, strike-ready, democratic unions.

As the school closings most heavily impacted Black students and Black teachers, Lewis amplified the message that Chicago was entering an “era of educational apartheid” and outlined a new vision for public education in Chicago. In 2012, she led the first CTU strike in 25 years. Her leadership built the foundation for the 2018 red-state strike wave. #unionstrong

The Committee on Political Education, Workers Comm

The Committee on Political Education, Workers Committee, Asian and Pacific Islanders Committee, and Equity Committee have collaborated to bring together a series of workshops on Race and Labor Unions. Click the link in our bio to RSVP for the ✨first workshop on Monday, January 25th at 5pm PST✨!

Our hope is that this workshop will help us as members of this union to learn more about the history of racism in the labor movement in order to examine the present and future of our own union.

We'll be holding our General Membership Meeting ‼️THIS THURSDAY‼️ FROM 5:00-7:05pm PST. We're excited to see you all there!

The GTFF vehemently condemns the acts of insurrect

The GTFF vehemently condemns the acts of insurrection and violent white supremacy displayed last Wednesday in the U.S. Capitol and more locally this weekend across the state of Oregon. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Jewish people disproportionately experience white supremacist violence -- at the hands of individuals and through the discipline of the state -- and our deepest concerns lie in their safety and well-being during this current political unrest. Resistance against the organized white supremacist violence we saw this week means using our collective power as workers and educators. We invite all members to attend the Direct Action Team meeting today at 6:30pm PST, during which there will be time for rank-and-file members to suggest different ways to center any direct action or organizing efforts around this goal.
