To CCTE Members, Delegates, and Friends:
Our CCTE Multilingual Advocacy Work Group is pleased to share a recent Op-Ed that appeared in online versions of The Sacramento Bee, Fresno Bee, Modesto Bee, Merced Sun-Star, and SLO Tribune on Sunday, November 30th, 2025. The Op-Ed also appeared in Monday’s Sacramento Bee print edition on December 1st, 2025. You can read the op-ed here: https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article313139655.html
If you are interested in getting involved in CCTE’s advocacy work, there are several ways to participate. Our Policy Committee is currently preparing for SPAN, the Spring Policy Action Network Conference held in Sacramento each March. We also have an Advocacy Committee that meets on the first Thursday of every month, as well as an active JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Committee engaged in a variety of ongoing projects.
In Community & Advocacy,
Karen Escalante
CCTE President
