SCTA- Pasadena City College

By closing corporate tax loopholes, #Prop15 will expand the tax base and reduce homeowners’ taxes. You read that right: #YesOn15 will give California homeowners an average of $121 in savings each year while investing in our schools and communities.

California is home to great wealth, but despite all our wealth we are failing to invest in our children and our future. Our schools rank 39th in per pupil spend...ing and have the nation’s largest class sizes. Prop 15 will reclaim billions for our schools and communities. #WeRiseTogether #Yeson15 #WeArePublicSchools

Richard Sequeira Teixeira Alves of SCTA-Pasadena City College expressing his support for Proposition 15, which would call for end of corporate tax loopholes that have decimating our public schools, colleges, universities, and hospitals for decades. Proposition 15 is a once in a generation opportunity to restore funding to our public schools. CTA and Schools and Communities First are fighting for schools that our student deserve. Vote for #Prop15 this November 3rd. Show your support for public education! #Prop15 #SCF #WeAreCTA #WeAreSCTA #WeArePublicSchools #StudentCTA #EducatorsVote #EdJustice

Corporate Opponents to #Prop15 are pushing the same scare tactics a judge struck from the voter guide. Even Facebook flagged their ad as "false information". L...earn the truth > http://yes15.org/debunk End corporate tax handouts. On November 3, Vote #Yeson15 #WeRiseTogether

We proudly support #Prop16. The effects of the ban on affirmative action in our UC and CSU systems has increased the decline in Black and Latino student enrollment at our premier UC and CSU campuses. We believe that the University of California should be representative of our state's population! #Resist209 #StopProp209 #End209

Make a video expressing why you are voting! #EducatorsVote and we need all of the voices to rock this election in our favor. Vote yes #Prop15 ! Schools and Communities First! #WeAreCTA #WeAreSCTA #StudentCTA #Prop15 #yeson15

To all of our educators: We salute you today on World Teachers' Day and every day by continuing to fight for you. #WeRiseTogether #WeArePublicSchools

#Prop15 is a once in a generation opportunity to fight for economic justice for our school, hospitals, and community colleges. This week we encourage all of you to participate in this week's activities. Use #WeAreCTA , #WeAreSCTA , and #prop15 . Let's outshine the corporate interests that are purposely denying students, our futures, and our communities from succeeding!

The murder of George Floyd is not an anomaly in the context of violence against people of color. The most public media-driven victims of violence include, but are not limited to, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery. It’s unconscionable for not only the police, but also citizens to murder people of color with impunity. Police brutality has been a reality since the creation of law enforcement. The police and the justice system have shirked their duties to protect the... citizens of the United States. It should not take the presence of danger for the police to protect citizens and take action. Everyone deserves to be protected by the police. In this year alone, there have been over 100 civilians who have been shot, 31 of whom were Black, as of March 30, 2020. In 2018, there were 1,143 fatal police shootings, and in 2019 this figure increased to 1,099.1 These statistics fail to mention the thousands of families and friends who needlessly lost a loved one. Student CTA stands in solidarity with the families that were left behind in the wake of these senseless killings. There has been and continues to be little to no justice for these families. The lack of reform deliberately encourages these tragedies. Student CTA stands in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement in schools and our communities. Across multiple platforms, we have seen the response for All Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matters which we do not condone or accept. These statements/countermovements are a form of gaslighting that minimizes the oppression that Black individuals face in the United States every day. It invalidates and erases hundreds of years of oppression and systematic racism that continues to happen today. These statements/countermovements represent a form of intentional colorblind racism spawned from white fragility and bolstered by white terrorism. They refuse to acknowledge that the United States does not value all lives in the same way. In unity with the Student CTA mission statement, we will call out behaviors that continue to support White Supremacy Culture such as these statements/countermovements. Black lives matter. #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery #BreonnaTaylor
