Hello Shoreline faculty!

With all the local issues our school is currently facing this year, it's important to remember that what every college faculty member, administrator, and president should want is more money from Washington State. It's time to show up to town halls and picketing events this spring to make ourselves heard as the legislature works on putting together the 2019-2021 state budget:

FIRST: If you haven't already, sign up for the AFT Legisletter to stay up-to-date on what's happening down in Olympia:

SECOND: Go to a town hall meeting and wear your blue union shirt! Here are two important ones, and the first one is THIS SATURDAY.
