5. Sign and share the petition: Defend Free City College for ALL San Franciscans

Please sign and share this petition to the City College Board of Trustees: Keep City College FREE for ALL San Franciscans.

Some CCSF Administrators and Board of Trustees’ President Thea Selby may be trying to exclude students from the Free City College program based on academic performance.

CCSF has always been and should remain a place of opportunity where those who need it the most get second, and even third chances. And from the beginning the Free City Initiative was build to be inclusive and to communicate to all SF students that our college is their college, especially at moments when they may be struggling academically. San Franciscans passed prop W to Fund Free City College for ALL San Franciscans. The money is there.

You can help. Tell our CCSF Trustees not to ration education by excluding students from the Free City College program based on academic performance. We must keep our Free City College program open to ALL San Franciscans.
