📅 May 14 | 12 PM
📍 Educated Palate, Downtown Campus
Let’s end this chapter the right way — together.

Thank you everyone for joining the tea ceremony today 🍵🤍
We explored Japanese history, learned the art of matcha, and experienced wearing kimono. So grateful to Aya, Kana, Makiko, Emma, Eiko, and Quynh for making this beautiful event possible 🧡

The fight continues.

We won’t stop advocating for our students, our campus, and our community.

Downtown deserves to stay open.
And we will keep fighting for it.

This Friday, 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM 🍵😄

Get ready to become the tea master you didn’t know you were! Grind your own matcha, whisk it like a pro (or at least try 😆), and enjoy delicious Japanese desserts with a real tea master guiding the way.
Tea, laughter, and a little chaos—Japanese tea ceremony, but make it fun ✨🍡

The Downtown Center (DTC) is more than just a building — it is a lifeline for City College students and the community. It has been one of CCSF’s most diverse and vibrant campuses, with students that speak more that 42 different languages, yet the administration is gutting programs and announcing a shut down.
City College’s administration keeps making the same wrong decisions: they claim that cutting current enrollment protects future enrollment. The past decade has felt like a concerted effort to dismantle City College. The Gough Street, Civic Center, Oakdale and San Francisco Airport campuses are all gone now, closed one-by-one to supposedly save City College.The same pattern is evident in the closing of the DTC. The business program was moved out of the DTC, followed by the fashion program. The on-site restaurant, the Educated Palate, was closed and the Culinary faculty moved to Ocean. About a year ago, the decision to remove foreign language classes from the DTC was made. Despite shrinking class options every year, the DTC has remained an important and special place for students, staff, and the surrounding community. The administration has decided to strip all that away. Imagine if the college were to finally make good on its promise to offer more classes and opportunities, instead of fewer?

March 26 at The Board of Trustees Meeting.
We were full of hope that day. But now… we do not know why the Mayor does not support us. We want to protect educational opportunities and our campus.
