California Teachers Association
Peace and Justice Caucus Forum
Bonaventure Hotel
Four times a year the California Teachers Association holds its State Council meeting where representatives from all over the state gather to make CTA policy. One of the most prominent caucuses, which is co-chaired by USLAW Steering Committee member Andy Griggs, is the Peace and Justice Caucus, which featured the two Iraqi labor leaders at a meeting open to all members of the State Council, as well as members of the community.
This event focused on labor and education issues and methods of greater international labor solidarity.
