COPE  (Committee on Political Education) represents the political action arm of the PVFT. The purpose of COPE is to engage in political education, to facilitate member-to-member communications about political issues and elections, and to endorse political candidates and make contributions to candidate campaigns. 

The CFT COPE Committee meets monthly to support candidates and elected officials most committed and capable of championing the interests of educators locally and beyond. When the union finds true supporters of member interests, the union endorses them. The union contributes COPE funds to help endorsed candidates who are supportive of labor and quality education issues to win their elections.

COPE contributions are an integral part of the work the Federation does do to give our union the resources it needs to have a strong voice in shaping the political climate that, in turn, shapes education in the Pajaro Valley and California.
