The CSEA Victory Club needs you
Please join the non-partisan CSEA Political Education Fund, the expanded Victory Club, that enables CSEA’s political arm to reach federal as well as state and local candidates.  Together we can win the rights, retirement and respect that classified employees have earned through their dedication to public education and the students we serve. Upon joining, you will receive the newly designed Victory Club pin in recognition of your important contribution.   If you are already a member, please submit the new Victory Club application today so that CSEA can convert your membership to the new Victory Club and send you the new Victory Club pin.  For additional information on the new Victory Club, select Victory Club Questions and Answers.

Victory Club funds help us to:

• Fully fund education and insure that the promise of full funding for our schools is kept.
• Protect and preserve our pensions. We need to stop legislation and initiatives to take away guaranteed pensions and force employees into risky 401k style plans.
• Provide access to affordable health care. We need to campaign for legislation and ballot measures to insure every classified employee has quality, affordable health care.
• Elect a Governor, legislators, congressional members and school board members who support public education, classified employees and organized labor.
• Pass school bonds, so we can build, update and renovate our school facilities.
• Stop privatization and outsourcing of classified jobs to the private sector.

How much does it cost?
CSEA Victory Club members contribute a few dollars to the Victory Club through payroll deduction, yet the combined contributions of tens of thousands of Victory Club members makes a big difference, bringing in close to one million dollars a year.  This means political power for CSEA in Sacramento and in Washington D.C.  CSEA encourages members to join at the $3.00/month or higher contribution  level.  See Victory Club application for more contribution information. 

How is the money spent?
The Victory Club helps fund school board campaigns, school bond elections, statewide ballot campaigns, congressional and legislative races. This year it will help CSEA elect a Governor who support public education and the work we do.  Victory Club money cannot be spent on CSEA operational expenses.

Who is eligible to join?
CSEA members and retirees are eligible.

How do you contribute?
Automatic payroll or PERS deduction is the only option for active members and PERS retirees to join  the Victory Club.  Retirees who are not members of PERS can join through an annual check contribution as shown on the new Victory Club application.

What are the levels of membership?
The new Victory Club does not have different contribution levels, such as VIP and Sponsor.  CSEA believes every member’s contribution is equally important to the growth of CSEA’s political education fund.
