City College Press Conference Monday, August 10, 2020 at 11:00 am

I sent this to leaders of EJI (Equal Justice Initiative) and SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice) because I know from their OWL presentations that they are racial justice leaders.  


 
Please join us tomorrow, Monday, August 10 at 11:00 am for a very important press conference that may impact the future of Black students, Black faculty,and the African-American Studies Program at City College of San Francisco.

But our Affirmative Action Task Force for Black faculty and our African-American Task Force have been working particularly hard on getting these demands met:


1. Reinstate the Latin American and Latinx Studies Statistics course (LALS 5), cross-listed in AFAM Studies, that had been specifically designed and taught in a manner to close equity gaps for our Black and Brown students
2. Fully fund and staff AFAM Resource Center and affiliate programs such as Umoja
3. Reinstate the elected chair of AFAM Studies Department


Hope to see you tomorrow at 11:00 am!

Tina

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
