The local San Diego Democratic delegation announced $3.4 million in federal funding for the San Diego Community College District.
Last week, President Biden told Congressional Democrats to remind voters of their accomplishments. Monday, three San Diego Democrats visited Mesa College to do that.
The money was approved by Congress in December as part of the fiscal year Omnibus Appropriations Bill.$1.2 million has been secured to better serve the district’s LGBTQ community. Some of the money will be used to hire a regional coordinator for the PRIDE centers already on the City and Mesa College campuses and those planned for Miramar College and the district's Continuing Education location.
At a news conference on the Mesa College campus Monday, Jacobs said, “Let me be clear. If it’s 'woke' to make sure that young people in our community have a space where they can be themselves and for me to advocate for people who often are overlooked and marginalized, I guess I’m woke."
