We are gearing up for a very political 2022 with up to four elections, the first of which will be taking place February 15, 2022. These elections will answer important questions for you, your union, and for our communities being decided during off-cycle and likely low-turnout elections. Let’s remind our communities of the importance of voting in the upcoming February election.
Your AFT 2121 colleagues have endorsed the following positions and candidates for the election on February 15, 2022:
State Assembly District 17: DAVID CAMPOS
Your COPE voted to endorse long-time AFT 2121 ally and former District 9 Supervisor, David Campos, for state assembly member in District 17. During his term as Supervisor David Campos was one of the first elected leaders to stand along with us in preventing the rogue accrediting commission from closing our CCSF.
Picture is of David Campos participating in AFT 2121’s “I am CCSF photo project during the accreditation crisis. “CCSF helps immigrants like me achieve the American Dream. I am City College.”
SFUSD School Board Recall: NO vote
Your COPE voted to oppose the effort to recall members of the board of education, a position which was based not in unquestioning support of the commissioners who are already up for re-election in November 2022, but in your commitment to safeguarding the democratic elections of governing boards for our public educational institutions. Teachers and paraprofessionals at San Francisco Unified, represented by the United Educators of San Francisco, also oppose this recall of their elected board.
Contact AFT 2121 Political Director Adele Failes-Carpenter (afailes@aft2121.org) to get involved. And if you want to help fund our union’s political positions — as well as the organizing and community work that we do — join COPE!
