Who We AreDA Passes Resolutions
The 4Cs and our coalition partners are going to the **Special Session on Tuesday, September 26 at noon at the State Capitol.**
Community college faculty, staff, students, and our allies are ready to demonstrate to state decision-makers that we will not sit idly by as they gut public higher education; allow childcare workers, long-term care workers, and paraeducators to continue in poverty wages without health benefits; ignore teaching and other staffing crises; and allow our neediest residents to continue without critical services.
