Community College Association

Our union is calling on state lawmakers to fully fund office hours for part-time faculty in the 2026–27 State Budget.

Last year, legislators heard our voices and included full funding — now we must make sure that commitment continues.

We need lawmakers to hear directly from us about why this matters for our colleges, our faculty, and our students.

72 years after Brown v. Board of Education, the dream of an equitable, justice-centered school system is still being fought for.

Families of every background send their children to public schools with the same hope: that their kids will be safe, seen, and set up to succeed. But when resources are stripped from our schools and our communities, that promise gets broken for all of us.

The work of Brown isn't finished. And as President Becky Pringle reminds us, we will never stop fighting for it. 👏
