Grateful to have your support for four more years on the b. A. R. T. Board. Thank you so much. Hi. I am alia, and i am running for San Francisco city college. I never knew that i would one day grow up and oversee the Free City College program at the department of children, youth, and their families, increasing access to Educational Opportunities for our Community Every day.
