Free City College: What’s next?
Our landmark Free City college pilot project has been wildly successful but is still set to expire in June 2019. Supervisor Jane Kim has proposed a City Charter amendment that could fund and stabilize Free City College, but she still needs our support to get it passed.
WHAT’S NEEDED?
- On Tuesday, 12/18 join our press conference with Supervisor Jane Kim at 11AM immediately before the Board of Supervisors votes on this charter amendment . Then from 11:30-12:30 we will visit Supervisors’ offices and sing Free City holiday carols with lyrics urging them to keep Free City alive.
- Send an email message to our Board of Supervisors.Let’s tell San Francisco’s elected leaders: WE NEED TO KEEP CITY COLLEGE FREE! If Free City has already helped you succeed, share your story. In the spirit of the holiday season, add a personal comment about why you are thankful for Free City.
WHAT HAPPENED ALREADY?
Over the last month more than 100 Free City Coalition members, students, faculty, and our labor and community allies have come out to give public comment in support of Jane Kim’s measure to keep the Free City college program alive to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. AFT 2121, with the help of the Labor Council, students, and our community allies in the Free City College Coalition successfully lobbied key supervisors to let the measure to move forward to this point. On 12/18 the full board will vote on whether to put our Free City Charter Amendment on the ballot for November 2019.
NUHW on STRIKE
NUHW represents over 4,000 Kaiser mental health clinicians and professionals who are holding a 5 day strike this week. Despite being in bargaining since June, to date, Kaiser has not made any substantive counter-proposals that would meaningfully change their practice of overbooking clinicians with appointments. These clinicians often cannot adequately care for their patients, and patients are too often pushed into group therapy or out of the Kaiser system altogether.
NUHW is rotating their picket lines at various CA Kaiser locations. So, we will not be able to join a picket line in SF this Thursday as previously announced.
