ESL Campaign Day Success- Schedule Yours Now
City College needs change, & you have a plan to make that happen. This weekend, ESL sponsored a Campaign Day for Prop O & Trustee Candidates Vick Chung, Anita Martinez, & Susan Solomon. ESL faculty took action together & mobilized for full funding & better leadership–now, it’s your turn.
If you want a City College that is capable of meeting community demand, if you want a fair contract & real job security, then make sure your Department sponsors a Campaign Day for full funding & better leadership at City College. You have less than 4 weeks until ballots are mailed to voters, so now is the moment to organize your Department Campaign Day.

AATF Holds BIPOC Affinity Space: Being BIPOC in White Academia
Friday, September 16, 1 PM
It is with many mixed emotions that I send this email. We’ve lost so many great colleagues to the cuts at our college. And yet, while we grieve, we must simultaneously find a way forward. Joan Baez writes, “Action is the antidote to despair.” and Dr. Garcia Peña titled her book, “Community as Rebellion.” I hope we can continue to be uplifted by our mutual hope and collective action against the odds.
Friday, Sept 16th will be our inaugural meeting for the academic year.
I’ve attached the flier.
The Affinity Spaces will be held for both white and BIPOC faculty that will each have separate racial discussions as each group experiences and is impacted by racism differently. All are welcome to attend and engage in introspective discussions. Some topics may be triggering and attendees are asked to assess their ability to choose “equity over peace” (as Dr. Standback-Stroud said on Flex Day) in discussions of antiracism at our institution.
