AFT of Texas Celebrates 50th Anniversary ‣ AFT of Texas

The Texas AFT and our Houston area locals are honored to welcome our fellow AFT members from across the country to our union’s 88th convention later this month.

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

The agenda is packed and exciting, and we’ll share more details as we get closer to the convention itself. Part of that excitement, though, is celebrating our own milestone: 50 years as a state federation, leading the way in the fight for thriving public schools.

To commemorate this anniversary, we have added several special 50th anniversary^th birthday items in our online store at store.texasaft.org. Remember: Every purchase made in our store is a donation to our Committee on Political Education (COPE), our state union’s political fund. In this critical and challenging election year, every little bit counts to support candidates who will support teachers.
