(1/28 & 1/31) Stop the cuts at CCSF!
The San Francisco Labor Council just passed a resolution supporting Supervisor Walton’s legislation allocating a $2.7 million dollar budget supplemental for City College to restore the classes cut from the Spring and Summer 2020 schedules last November. With 7 out of 11 Supervisors pledging support for the measure, we expect it to pass when the Board votes tomorrow.
Help us keep CCSF the kind of college all of our San Francisco communities deserve! Join two upcoming hearings at City Hall in room 250 on the devastating class cuts at City College. PLEASE RSVP
Please wear red for education. If you have to prioritize one event please plan to participate on Friday 1/31 from 9:30-11:30am.
TUESDAY, 1/28, 1-4PM
- 1-2pm, 2nd floor Supervisors’ hall: Stop by Supervisors’ offices to thank or ask for their support.
- 2-4pm, room 250: Board of Supervisors will vote on Supervisor Walton’s $2.7M Emergency Bridge Funds ordinance. There will be no dedicated public comment on this measure but, if you can, please be present in chambers to show support during the vote. Wear your “Red for Ed” AFT shirt or other red clothing. Meeting begins at 2pm, but our item is #29 on the agenda, so it will likely come to the Board on the later side — perhaps closer to 4:00pm. PLEASE RSVP
- 9:30am, Polks St. steps: Rally, wear your “Red for Ed” AFT shirt or other red clothing.
- 10-11:30am, room 250: Public comment to the Joint Education Committee. We’ve seen the decimation of African American Studies, Philippine Studies, Tagalog, older adult classes, and much more. Supervisor Walton has called a special Joint Education Committee hearing with an emphasis on the effects that class cuts have on our low income and students of color. Please come and be heard. Please invite your students. Let’s push back on the narrative that narrowing class offerings helps our students succeed. PLEASE RSVP
(2/6) COPE meeting
Mark you calendars. All AFT 2121 members are invited to our next COPE meeting on February 6, 2020 at 10:30am, room TBA.
AFT 212’s 2020 Presidential election survey
AFT 2121 is conducting a survey of our members about the 2020 Presidential election. Should we endorse anyone? If so, who are your preferred candidates and priority issues? What organizing are you willing to commit to?
The outcome of the November 2020 presidential elections will be extremely important for teachers, students and the future of public education. A president committed to quality education will care about under what pay & conditions we teach, and how our teaching is funded. S/he should also be concerned about the skyrocketing levels of student debt, and how to enable the broadest possible affordable access to public higher education. If there is enough interest, we will be hosting a special COPE meeting in February where faculty proxies of candidates can make their cases.
