Join the CalRTA family...
For more than 90 years, CalRTA has been the tireless watchdog for California's retired educators. Our first priority is to protect and enhance the pensions of CalSTRS members, but we also provide a social network of fellow educators, exclusive discounts on insurance, travel, entertainment and opportunities to give back and get involved.
There is strength in numbers. We'd love to welcome you to the CalRTA family.
Mission
CalRTA's mission is to ensure that current and retired California educators have a secure financial future, to assist current retirees, and to support public education in our communities.
Goals
Full purchasing power protection for all retired educators
Repeal of the Social Security penalties (the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset) which penalize careers in public education
A health care system that is accessible, affordable and of high quality for all Californians
Protecting the state's public education system
