Countdown to AFT Convention in Houston: Texas AFT Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Texas AFT and our Houston area locals are honored to host our fellow AFT members from across the nation for our union's 88th convention later this month.

The AFT convention is the highest authority of our union and demonstrates union democracy at work. The convention will convene at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, on Monday, July 22, and will remain in session throughout the week.

The agenda is full and exciting, and we'll share more updates as near the convention itself. Part of that excitement, however, is the celebration of our own milestone: 50 years as a state federation, leading the way in the fight for thriving public schools.

To commemorate the anniversary, we've added several special 50^th anniversary items to our online shop at store.texasaft.org. Remember: Every purchase from our store acts as a donation to our Committee on Political Education (COPE), our state union's political fund. In this momentous and harrowing election year, truly every bit helps in supporting candidates who will support educators.
