Members are calling the CEA office asking why we are not running ads on TV and radio. The answer is that it is too early. But it also costs millions of dollars. Outsiders already have funneled $5.6 million to support Senate Bill 5.

You can help us gain headway. You can join Teachers for Better Schools (TBS) so that CEA members can do our part in raising money needed to support a referendum on SB5. TBS is CEAs political-action arm. It's a separate organization that relies on your voluntary contributions to remain effective. We need all 4,500 members to join.

Thanks to all members who attended a 10-Minute Meeting about TBS and who joined or increased contributions to TBS. If you want to know more about this powerful organization or to find out how you can contribute by payroll deduction, call CEA at 253-4731.
