Thurs 4/28 12:30-1:30pm Rally at Mission Campus to Defend CCSF ESL

Thursday 4/28 12:30-1:30 Rally at Mission Campus to Defend CCSF ESL: No Layoffs! No Cuts!

Chancellor Martin’s plan to downsize CCSF would result in the firing of 47 ESL faculty members, the closure of at least 40 full ESL courses, and the denial of educational opportunities next year for at least 1,600 students in the ESL department alone.

San Francisco’s immigrant community has depended on CCSF ESL for generations. Cuts of this magnitude (37% of ESL courses) would be devastating.

That’s why CCSF ESL students, faculty, and community members are rallying Thursday 12:30-1:30pm at Mission Campus (1125 Valencia St). See press advisory for event here & RSVP now & share this invite with your students, colleagues, and community members.

CCSF’s Trustees have until May 15 to stop the layoffs and cuts. Join this rally and help get the message out: CCSF has budget surpluses until fiscal year 2023, and the CCSF Revenue Unity Coalition plans to bring a revenue measure to San Francisco voters in November to address the long-term problem of the State’s underfunding.

Put simply, the Trustees have a choice: continue the downward spiral of cuts that will harm thousands of San Francisco’s most vulnerable residents, or, stand up, lead, and join the fight for quality public education in our city.
