UPDATE (11/10):

Thanks to your efforts, a special meeting was called for Thursday, November 12th at 1 pm. John via zoom at: 
https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/8055463100

Attend and speak during public comment requesting the Board of Trustees to censure Trustee Sysak and for Sysak's resignation. 



-----

Board President Peter Sysak is facing public pressure to resign in light of his racist social media posts. Over 150 Cuesta faculty, staff, students, and SLO County community members attended the November 4th board meeting calling for Trustee Sysak's resignation during a public comments session that lasted over an hour. (SLO Tribune Article here).

Trustee Sysak's disparaging comments targeted the undocumented community, trans people, Black people, and Muslims, in addition to supporting known white supremacists groups. It is unacceptable. 

We continue to support the students, faculty, and staff of Cuesta College and their right to a Board of Trustees that respects them. 

ACTION:  E-mail the Board of Trustees to request a special meeting to publicly address Peter Sysak's behavior and demand his immediate resignation. 

E-MAILS:

TEMPLATE:

Dear Board of Trustees,
As a member of this community, I e-mail you with deep concern about Peter Sysak’s racist behavior and the damaging impact it has on the BIPOC community in San Luis Obispo county. There is a lack of faith for Cuesta College's ability to continue being a safe and equitable space for students from marginalized backgrounds. I demand a special meeting to address the abundant public concern regarding board President Peter Sysak’s recent actions. Board President Peter Sysak must resign. 

(You may choose to include any connection with Cuesta or your district) 

CCC-USS is in solidarity The undersigned are in solidarity with all protesters unjustly charged by San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow. 

Read and sign the petition:
http://chng.it/HTSMscV57W

On Thursday October 15, 2020 charges were brought against additional protesters, 84 days after the July 21 protest and based on an independent investigation stemming from the District Attorney’s office.  The recent charges against Amman Asfaw, Marcus Montgomery, and Joshua Powell represent targeted harassment against young Black men that is inconsistent with the values of San Luis Obispo. 

Since June 1st, the San Luis Obispo police department and District Attorney’s office has attempted to intimidate and violently suppress public organizing that draws attention to and challenges racial injustices. The arrests and charges against Tianna Aratta and Elias Bautista, along with other protesters, show a clear targeting of Black and brown youth activists in our community. The new charges are an explicit political statement meant to silence anti-racist activism in the county. 
As residents of San Luis Obispo County, we have a social responsibility to hold local law enforcement and the District Attorney’s office accountable for their continued violence and judicial overreach against Black and brown lives. 

We must insist that all charges be dropped and no new charges are filed, and we must demand that our elected officials invest in communities of color and divest from the use-of-force (weaponized and judicialized) against protesters showing up for racial justice.  
We stand with all activists and organizers fighting for Black lives. 
#HandsOff
No prosecution for SLO County protesters showing up for racial justice! 

Call to Action:
In addition to signing this petition, submit public comments at the following meetings and/or send a letter or email to the following groups and individuals listed below. Insist these elected officials and task forces take action and voice their public advocacy for all the charges to be dropped against all anti-racist protesters targeted by DA Dan Dow and that no future charges are made.
