Dear El Camino College Community:

As you know, California's community colleges are facing the largest budget cuts in the system's history, and our students are facing the complete elimination of the Cal Grant financial aid program.

Please join me in calling the Legislature during this week's hearings and discussion on the education cuts. The Community College League of California is working closely with our student, faculty and staff organizations and has assembled an easy-to-use website where you type in your ZIP code, get your legislators' information, and are provided simple talking points to make the call. Simply visit this site:

Don't forget to click the "Call Made" button next to each of your legislators so we get credit that our legislators have been called.

While we won't eliminate all of the cuts, it is important that we draw attention to the disproportionate cuts to community colleges and what that means to our college.
