No on 22 rally | Last chance to vote in PR elections | AATF happy hour

Precinct Representatives (delegates) are the most important part of your Union’s democratic decision-making structure and do the grassroots organizing work with you that allows us to win our struggles for better wages and working conditions for the college that San Francisco deserves. Our Union structure contains 41 precincts, divided by department and/or location (pre-COVID). Members within a precinct vote for their own precinct representative(s). Precinct Rep elections run from Wednesday, October 7, through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 16.

• Ballots were emailed out on Wednesday, October 7. Our voting platform is called Survey Hero.
• If you didn’t receive an email ballot or if you have other election related questions, please contact the union office aft@aft2121.org. We will pass along any messages to the Election Commission that need to be answered by them.
• Voting is private and confidential. Only the Election Commission will have access to voting information and all personal identifying information will be deleted from the voting platform immediately after votes are tallied.
• Your Election Commissioners are: Kathleen Duffy, Craig Kleinman, and Anne Vanderslice.
• Because this election was delayed from spring, all members who were eligible to vote in spring will be eligible to vote in this election, and are also electable as precinct rep, whether or not they have an assignment this fall.
• If there are nominees in your precinct, their names will be listed. Voters may also write in a name.
  
  

The Affirmative Action Task Force of AFT2121 at City College of San Francisco would like to invite you to a virtual happy hour on Friday, October 23rd from 5-7, which will give you a chance to meet this diverse group fighting for diversity in our college faculty and administration. The second hour will include breakout groups: a trivia game related to the accomplishments of people of color and another for those who want to dance.

While we have a long journey ahead before our teachers and administration represent the demographics of our students and ethnic studies departments are fully funded, we do have cause to celebrate. This semester the committee got the administration to commit to hiring a full-time teacher for the African American Studies Department, as well as getting admin to put LALS 5: Introduction to Statistical Methods in Latin American and Latino/a Studies back on the schedule as a late start class. Much still needs to be done, so we hope this happy hour will inspire you to join us in the cause of equity at our college!
