While every year has its challenges, 2012 is shaping up to be a year full of demands-and hope. At the local level, we are fortunate to have fewer financial burdens than many other districts. However, that does not get us off the hook to support ways to work toward a statewide funding structure that will benefit all California's students!
Joel Flores is the director of political organizing for the Newport-Mesa Federation of Teachers, one of the first local unions to receive a grant from CFT under its Political Leaders United to Create Change program. During 
the coming year, Flores will work full-time for the nearly 1000-member union based in the Orange County city of Costa Mesa. California Teacher interviewed Flores about his new role with the union.
