If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Christian, if you aren't capable of manufacturing the slightest bit of compassion for the hurting and the hungry and the terrified and the desperate right now—what on earth are you singing for?

Just what exactly are you celebrating this Christmas?

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Community colleges face complex challenges. They receive less than half the per-student revenue of their four-year counterparts, and the community colleges serving the greatest numbers of students facing systemic barriers are often the most under-resourced.
The Value of Community Colleges: Recent Students’ Motivations and Outcomes
To better understand the value community colleges provide to individuals and communities, we need to acknowledge the range of needs they serve.

California folks who care about education - AB1705 is bad policy. Please read Anna Matthew’s article, “One Size Fails All: Unmasking AB1705” in the latest edition of FACCCTS and contact your representatives to ask that this legislation be fixed.
