Dear CTA member,

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the many students, fellow educators and families impacted by the wildfires throughout California, and most recently in Ventura and parts of Los Angeles counties.

If you live in these impacted areas, we want you to know that help is available through CTA’s Disaster Relief Fund. Grants are available for homes and for local schools, including temporary displacement and catastrophic damage grants. Application here.

We also want to recognize and thank our union sisters and brothers of the California Professional Firefighters who have been battling these wildfires. It has been a devastating season, and we must all come together to support these communities
