    Yesterday, one of our union leaders, Jonathan A. Caravello, Ph.D., was arrested during an ICE raid in Camarillo, CA, while he was lawfully observing immigration enforcement activities. We are calling for the immediate release of Dr. Caravello from federal custody with no charges.

    Our students, faculty, and communities cannot function under the repression and brutality we are witnessing at places of learning across California and the nation, including at @humboldtcalpoly where students are advocating for justice & human rights in Palestine.
    Members of the California Faculty Association support faculty and students’ rights to protest free from brutal aggression by militarized police, free from academic retaliation and repression by university officials, and without being confined into artificially constructed “free speech areas.” The entire university is a free speech area. 

CFA members are committed to defending the health, safety, and academic freedom of students, faculty, staff, and community members in the CSU advocating for justice in Palestine.
    We demand of all administrators in the California State University system:

protection of students’ rights to walkout of classes, rally, protest, hold teach-ins and other protected free-speech activities;
offer immediate sanctuary (i.e., spaces free from harassment and detention on campus) to all Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) members in the CSU, as well as to any other students, faculty, staff, and community members who speak or act in solidarity with Palestine, or against the ongoing criminalization of Palestine advocacy;
clearly reaffirm CSU management’s commitment to enforcing the principles of academic freedom for those teaching on Palestine and Israel and/or for those using the principles of anti-racism and social justice, as laid out in the CFA-CSU Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Academic Senate of the CSU Academic Freedom Policy (2017);
proactively counter any intimidation or doxxing campaigns against any student, faculty, or staff member, by mobilizing the CSU
    Academic freedom is under attack in our nation. We are witness to the criminalization of feminist, queer, trans, and critical race scholarship and of reproductive health. In the CSU, we are witness to repression against members of our campus communities who are protesting for human rights.

We take this opportunity to proclaim again that academic freedom must be the cornerstone of the university. As educators, we recognize now, as ever, the critical need for us to defend this imperative right. Our students, our faculty, and our communities cannot function under the repression and brutality we are witnessing at places of learning across California and the nation.

    Caste is now a protected category at the @calstate system, thanks to student, faculty, and staff activists, and CFA union leaders, who advocated for – and won – this provision in our new contract. Read all about it in this weeks CFA headlines ⤵️

    Despite @calstate management's many attempts to tell students and faculty that campuses are open. We are the CSU and we did shut it down. More of this, this week ✊🏾 #CFAStrong #CFAonStrike #DontCrossThePicketLine

    We firmly believe that there is no higher education at the UC without these workers and their compensation and benefits need to reflect that. We are by your side! @uaw2865 #FairUCNow #UniversityOfCalifornia #WorkersOfTheWorldUnite #uawOnStrike

    Members sent a powerful message that low pay, growing workloads, and systemic inequities are not sustainable. 95% of voting members support authorizing a strike - if necessary - to win a deal that addresses these alarming issues. #1u #CFA4Faculty #StrikeReady

    Rather than bargain in good faith with CFA members, @calstate management expressed nothing but disdain for faculty. CSU management has never taken seriously our proposals for desperately needed equity transformation for CSU students, faculty, and staff. #CFAFacultyRising ✊🏾
    The CFA Bargaining Team reserved four days for re-opener contract negotiations this week, making every effort to bargain in good faith and explore the space for a negotiated solution before a systemwide strike January 22 to 26. CFA members delivered four proposals Monday, but were met with disrespect from management today. After 20 minutes, the CSU management bargaining team threatened systemwide layoffs, walked out of bargaining, cancelled all remaining negotiations, then imposed a last, best and final offer on CFA members.

Rather than bargain in good faith with CFA members, CSU management expressed nothing but disdain for faculty. We know they 
have the money in their flush reserve accounts.

CSU management has never taken seriously our proposals for desperately needed equity transformation for CSU students, faculty, and staff, including raising base salary for our lowest-paid, struggling faculty, manageable workloads for more student engagement, more mental health services for stud
