Committee on Political Education, Tuesday, 11/16 from 1:30-3pm
At this month’s COPE meeting, you will consider a potential endorsement for a California State Assemblymember in AD 17. You will also hear from those advocating for Sup Preston’s proposed Emergency Housing Acquisition Program, supplemental appropriation that would fund social housing in accordance with Prop I. The funding would increase the City’s capacity to acquire and preserve rental properties amidst time-limited opportunities to remove housing from the speculative market and permanently preserve units at affordable rents.

Delegate Assembly, Tuesday, 11/16 from 3-5pm
This month’s delegate assembly will be a little different from normal. We have two important items to cover: the academic calendar and our organizing campaign. Instead of using meeting time for reports, we’ll send reports out as email blasts ahead of time, and just get right to work in the meeting. If members want more time, we’ll keep the zoom room open after the meeting for discussion.
To attend either of these meetings, follow this link from your computer or smartphone OR call 1-669-900-6833 then follow the prompts to enter the meeting ID #810 1671 8065 and password: 783119.
(Tues. 11/16 deadline) Fill out your survey: Should CCSF End Social Distancing in the Spring?
Last week, Deputy Chancellor Dianna Gonzales and Vice Chancellor Tom Boegel announced the College’s intent to eliminate campus social distancing requirements for Spring 2022. Administration’s intent is to make scheduling easier.
This is not set in stone. Your union has a chance to respond. It is essential that you make your voice heard by filling out a simple survey (link here and below) to help your Return to Campus team plan a response. Please respond by 5pm Tuesday, November 16.
Some facts before you do:
Fact: The college has committed to opening more class sections as necessary to ensure social distancing. HEERF money pays for this. A policy change is not needed to add sections and serve our students.
Fact: We are still living in a pandemic. Health officials are concerned COVID-19 cases may rise again with winter.
Fact: Many other schools, including SFUSD and SFSU, have relaxed social distancing. The CDC allows this for “fully vaccinated” schools.
As a union, we are a collective. We stand up for the most vulnerable among us. We are committed to ensuring our return to campus is safe for workers and students, particularly those from groups disproportionately affected by COVID-19: Black, brown, working-class, older people, and people with disabilities.
We’re also a democracy so please fill out the quick survey and encourage your colleagues to do the same–fill out your survey here : https://bit.ly/RTCSurveyAFT.
