Haiti Earthquake Relief
Your donation to help Haiti is now worth twice as much!
AFT members nationwide have been stepping up to the plate to support the Haitian people and their devastated communities. AFT Healthcare members from Vermont and Connecticut are in Haiti and the Dominican Republic helping meet emergency medical needs. Union members around the country are donating time and services. Five ships crewed by Seafarers, Marine Engineers and Longshoremen are in Haiti, with medical staff treating injured Haitians and crews offloading supplies.
Now the AFL-CIO's Union Plus program is making the generous offer of matching funds. It’s simple—$10 becomes $20; $50 becomes $100. All donations made to the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers fund automatically will double (up to $100,000). Anyone can make donations—members and potential members alike.
The people of Haiti continue to need our help.

In unity, The AFT


The California Federation of Teachers just endorsed Janice and we couldn't be more thrilled. Janice has always fought for quality, affordable education – most recently standing up to the tuition hike at UC schools – and the CFT's support shows us, once again, why Janice Hahn is the right choice for Lt. Governor.
"We know that she will be a strong advocate for quality educational opportunities at an affordable cost for students attending the University of California and the California State University when, as Lt. Governor, she serves on the governing boards of these two university systems," Marty Hittelman, CFT President, said about Janice this weekend.
This endorsement is a huge accomplishment for our campaign. Help us keep up the momentum by spreading the word. Please forward this email to 5 friends now and ask them to join you in supporting Janice:

The California Federation of Teachers wants a leader that will protect our educational system. A leader that won't just place Sacramento's economic mess on the backs of hard-working students and teachers. Janice will fight for real change in our state government, and will never forget that economic growth and progress is a result of good, quality education – and our state's excellent teachers who make it happen.
I know we can turn our state around and bring real change to California, but we can only reach our goals if we join together.
Thank you,
Courtney
Janice Hahn for Lt. Governor
