Today, FACCC-sponsored AB 1171 (@AsmDarshana) advanced out of the Senate Education Committee.

Happy Pride Month! This June, we celebrate the diversity, strength, and contributions of LGBTQ faculty, students, and staff across the CCCs.
As we celebrate Pride, we also reflect on the work that has helped make our colleges more welcoming and affirming places for all.
FACCC proudly sponsored AB 2315 (Arambula, 2022), landmark legislation that established affirmed-name and gender-identification protections for students, faculty, and staff in the CCCs.
The framework established by AB 2315 was later expanded through AB 760 (Wilson, 2023), extending similar protections to the CSU system. This Pride Month, we celebrate the progress toward college communities where everyone is seen, respected, and supported.
