AFT 2121 hosted an urgent Press Conference today and dedicated faculty have now set up tents planning to occupy outside CCSF’s main administrative building (Conlan Hall) for an ongoing occupation. We demand that CCSF’s Trustees reject unnecessary layoffs and cuts, and instead direct college leaders to work with the CCSF Revenue Unity Coalition to grow back the college San Francisco deserves.
In the crucial final week of this campaign, you need to keep speaking up for CCSF.

With a final vote taking place as early as this week, CCSF’s elected Board of Trustees appear prepared to authorize faculty layoffs that will close hundreds of fully enrolled classes, impact 20,544 students at minimum next semester alone, and plunge CCSF even further into a downward cycle of cuts, decline, & crisis.
Despite budget surpluses through fiscal year 2023 and anticipated surpluses for the next 5 years, CCSF Trustees unanimously took a position at an initial vote in February to cut hundreds of fully enrolled classes and layoff 218 full- and part-time faculty, including 58 tenured/tenure-track faculty. If they choose to affirm the downsizing plan at their final vote at the beginning of May this will perpetuate CCSF’s era of cuts, decline, & crisis, and harm the thousands of black, brown, working-class, disabled, and immigrant residents whom CCSF serves.
The SF Democratic Party has spoken out against the layoffs, leaders of SEIU 1021 & the SF Building Trades have spoken, CCSF’s students have spoken, and you, our beloved CCSF community have spoken. It is time for the Board to change course, rescind the layoffs, and direct administration to fund CCSF departments at least at 21-22 levels to prevent further cuts.
