Mayor Lee: Make Free City College REAL

San Franciscans passed Prop W to fund the Free City College initiative. Since then the Board of Supervisors have kept their promise to the voters by acting to set aside the monies needed and the DCCC has unanimously passed a resolution in support of making the Free City College Initiative REAL by Fall 2017. Now we need to Mayor Lee to just cut the check!

We’ve learned Mayor Ed Lee is considering drastically reducing the scope of Free City or possibly preventing it from moving forward at all, despite being supported by the voters.

Please join us on Thursday, 2/9 at 12:30pm at City Hall Polk St. steps to show your support for making City College FREE for ALL San Franciscans! We will rally from 12:30-1pm and then march to the Mayor’s office at 1pm to deliver thousands of signed postcards urging him to do the right thing for the future of higher education in San Francisco.

With exorbitant housing prices and high student debt, students often face choices between enrollment and rent, between textbooks and groceries. In the face of these calamitous times San Francisco must set the example and ensure access to quality education.

Let’s make Free City REAL!
