Solidarity forever!

Did you know part-time faculty aren’t paid for the office hours they spend helping students? We’re fighting to change that.

Last year, educators won funding for crucial student services. This year, we’re calling on state legislators to include full funding for office hours for part-time community college faculty in the 2026-27 State Budget.

Go to https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fully-fund-part-time-faculty-office-hours/ to tell the State Budget Committee to support our part-time faculty and critical student services.

Here's even more of what was learned at the 2026 CCA Spring Conference! Negotiations is not just the job of the Negotiations Team; we all need to help in order to get the contract we want.
