CTA Secretary-Treasurer-elect Mikki Cichocki emphasized the crowd’s interde- pendence: “Each of us leans on one another to meet our societal needs, and because ‘we are one’ we must support extending current taxes.” Speakers included James Ramos, San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees, and California State Board of Edu- cation member, who said, “Public education is vital to the health of our democracy. Tax extensions will enable us to avoid further damage to our schools and our students.” Student CTA Southern Regional Vice President Wesley Porter told attendees, “We need to fight for the future we want.” What’s next After the rallies, Gov.
