Federal Proposal Would Limit How Long International Students Can Stay in U.S. www.calfac.org/federal-prop...

Although this bill passed both legislative chambers, nine legislators—champions of CFA—sided with California teachers and abstained from voting. We urge you to tell Governor Gavin Newsom to veto AB715 by adding your signature here. 📩 win.newmode.net/caircaliforn... #VETOAB715

Over the last 2 weeks, we provided an overview of 13 members of the CSU Board of Trustees. Do you see a pattern? The majority of trustees who adopt rules, regulations, and policies have very little experience in higher education & have made decisions that have harmed our faculty, students, &staff.

🚨 AB 715 has passed the Legislature early this morning and now heads to Governor Newsom’s desk. Tell Governor Newsom: Veto AB 715. Link 👇🏽 win.newmode.net/caircaliforn...

Fair elections, made in California, decided by voters. Vote YES on Prop 50 on November 4th to stop Republicans from rigging the 2026 midterms. #CFAYesOnProp50 #ElectionRigging www.calfac.org/cfa-for-yes-on-50/ for more information

This November, Californians will vote on Proposition 50, which—if it passes—can give us the Congress we need to stop these fascist and authoritarian tactics. We will not sit idly and watch our communities be torn apart. Sí se puede ✊🏾 #CFAForYesOn50 #YesOnProp50

Proud to stand with my union, California Faculty Association/SEIU 1983, and union siblings today to rally against the CSU Board of Trustees. This system belongs to the people who work in it, learn in it, and fight for it.

AB 715 discriminates against Black, Latino, Asian-Pacific Islander, and Indigenous students by letting lawmakers to appoint a statewide coordinator to censor education. 📞 CALL ASSEMBLY SPEAKER RIVAS & PRO TEM MCGUIRE NOW!

🚨AB 715 does not protect us, it silences us. This bill threatens classroom teachers and students. We have just days to stop it. ✊🏾 CALL ASSEMBLY SPEAKER RIVAS & PRO TEM MCGUIRE NOW! Oppose AB 715! 📲 Pro Tem McGuire : (916) 651-4002 & Assembly Speaker Rivas: (916) 319-2029

Dr. Caravello’s abduction by immigration officials last week was a clear violation of their right to free speech and an attempt to terrorize union members and educators who speak out against injustice in their communities. Here's our statement: www.calfac.org/statement-ce...

Congress just sold out working families to hand another tax break to billionaires who don't need them. We will hold every elected official accountable who voted to betray our communities and hurt working people. Read Pres. Saunders' full statement: www.afscme.org/press/releas...

We remember and acknowledge the history of America’s Black communities on #Juneteenth and we organize to dismantle systems of oppression. We must raise the voices of all who continue to fight for every inch of our freedom. #UnionPower

The raids. The arrests. The attacks on @chirla-org.bsky.social‬ and 200+ other NGO's. It’s all connected. This is a full-scale assault on immigrant power and working people. We fight back. Together. #StandWithCHIRLA

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

📢 ACTION ALERT: As many of you have likely seen ICE is conducting a series of raids in the Los Angeles area. Things are moving quickly some locals already have folks in the field. David Huerta was just arrested in SoLA opposing the raids. We have to show up for our siblings!✊🏾

Workers’ rights are under attack in the U.S. In the 2025 Global Rights Index, the Trump admin was cited for taking a “wrecking ball to the collective labor rights of workers” and bringing anti-union billionaires into policymaking. We’re fighting back.

Our CFA counselor faculty members attended the 37th Annual NCORE last week. The conference featured community engagement within the higher education community to learn how to be empowered to achieve the fullest potential in inclusive and thriving academic communities. #MentalHealthMatters 💚
