March 3, 2008 -- Community College Funding Crisis
Both the Governor's January Budget proposal and the defeat of Proposition 92 have put necessary state funding for California
Community Colleges in jeopardy. We all need to make the case that this funding is essential for us to do our job of preparing the California workforce of the 21st century. Eliminating college opportunity is not the way to fix the state's fiscal shortfall.
Contact the Governor and your representatives in the Assembly and State Senate. Tell them to support California Community Colleges, and tell them why. Click here for a sample letter that you can download. You can find the contact information for your representatives below. Find out who is your Assembly member at http://www.assembly.ca.gov/ (click "Find my District") and who is your State Senator at http://www.senate.ca.gov/~newsen/senators/districtmaps.HTP (click "Your Senator").
