In Winter 2024, the FA-PAC and the FA-PAC Internship Program remain committed to supporting faculty and student interests in several crucial areas across the District.
Our work to support the arts at De Anza continues apace with the Measure G Task Force, which is currently involved in renewed discussions and planning regarding the Measure G buildout.
We remain deeply involved with the Affordable Housing Task Force led by FA-PAC Internship Program faculty mentor, Eric Reed. Composed of faculty, staff, and students (including three FA-PAC interns), The Affordable Housing Task Force is presently engaged in review of proposed sites for housing development on or near our campuses.
Additionally, the FA-PAC Internship Program is leading a voter registration campaign. Our Why Voting Matters contest invites students, faculty, and community members to register to vote and enters them into a drawing to win one of three $50-dollar gift cards. Everyone is welcome to participate. It takes only minutes to complete the form!
Last, and definitely not least, the FA-PAC and the FA-PAC Internship Program is investing significant resources and energy into the Patrick Ahren’s campaign for State Assembly
(District 26). We’ve recruited more than 50 student volunteers and are actively engaged in weekend canvasing events. Starting this week we’ll add text-banking and phone-banking activities. Anyone interested in getting involved in the campaign should contact the campaign directly or the intern coordinator, Isabel Caballero-Teixeira (isabelcaballerot96@gmail.com).
The FA-PAC will provide a full list of endorsements in the February FA News.
