Welcome to FREE CITY, the book

Diane Ravitch

The struggle and success of Free City proves that when people organize, persist, and resist injustice, they win!—Diane Ravitch

Richard Walker

The fight to save City College is one of the most remarkable in the long history of progressive politics in San Francisco. It offers hope and practical lessons in opposing the neoliberal agendas of austerity, exclusion, and privatization.

Justin Akers says …

Free City! is a timely and urgently-needed saga of successful resistance to the corporate forces threatening the very existence of public higher education in California. It is a meticulously documented history, a breathless narrative, and a comprehensive guide to action all in one.

The lessons learned in the fight to save San Francisco City College need to be widely understood and applied by all educators, students, and community members committed to the struggle for education for all.

Christopher Newfield says …

The never-been-told blow-by-blow of one of the most important battles for democratic higher education in recent decades—saving City College of San Francisco.
