City Hall: Act to Save City College!
Mass Rally Demanding City Govt. Help SF City College.
Thursday, March 14, 4-6 PM
SF City Hall Steps

San Francisco City Government needs to help City College of San Francisco continue as a vibrant COMMUNITY College. The NY Times says it’s the 11th top Community College in the nation. It helps students complete their GEDs, prepares students to transfer to 4-year colleges, and graduates students in the fields of food preparation, nursing, radiology, dnd fire fighting. Thousands of immigrants learn English, and unemployed workers learn new skills .

But City College is under threat, not of closing, but of having its student body narrowed down to full-time students planning to transfer to four-year colleges or in vocational certificate programs. No low-income students working while studying, no Lifelong Learning programs for older adults, no Diversity programs specializing in communities of color, no programs for people with disabilities - - in short, no Community in Community Colleges. It’s time for City Government to get involved!
