Join Supervisor Mar, Your Trustee Candidates, & AFT 2121 Tmrw Thurs 9/29 at 9:30am for a Citizenship Day Press Conference at CCSF Chinatown Campus
On Thursday, City College will be, for the first time since COVID, hosting its annual Citizen Day to celebrate English as Second Language (ESL) students who have recently passed their citizenship exams. For generations, CCSF’s ESL programs have been a first stop for San Francisco’s immigrant community, providing accessible language classes, citizenship courses, and vocational training in healthcare, custodial, & tech.
But right now, City College ESL is suffering–hundreds of students have been locked out of the classes they need this fall due to unnecessary layoffs and course cuts. 39 ESL faculty members were laid off last May, and the result is 32% fewer courses this fall, a dramatic cut that is causing real harm to SF’s immigrant community.
In response, Supervisor Gordon Mar & CCSF’s faculty union AFT 2121 are holding a Press Conference before Thursday’s Citizenship Event to broadcast the stories of City College’s immigrant students & deliver a call to action to defend the college at the ballot in November by passing Proposition O & electing CCSF Trustee Candidates Anita Martinez, Susan Solomon, Vick Chung, & Adolfo Velasquez.
See the press release for the event here & watch live here on Facebook if you can’t make it in person.
