Election 2020: Give it up for our top campaigners

Our political work is powered by our members — talking to voters about the issues and candidates educators support. In this last campaign, a group of UTLA members really stepped up, logging the highest number of volunteer shifts to push the needle in the elections. The PACE Executive Board is sending these folks eGiftCards this week in recognition of their commitment.

Together with the celebratory mood, UTLA members at today's rally also voiced a sense of purpose and commitment. Mabel Wong, a teacher at Marshall HS, said "I am here in solidarity and to remind ourselves we have a lot to do, climate, unions, and the threat to our schools." And Melissa Naponelli, from Maya Angelou Community HS, said she wants to make sure Trump leaves office, and added "After he goes, UTLA needs to keep doing actions like this to hold everybody accountable."
