ALE Comunidad, 
 
In the weeks following the presidential election, we acknowledge that the higher education community may experience a range of emotions, conversations, and uncertainties. 

The Association of Latino Employees (ALE) Board remains committed to advancing ALE's mission of supporting the needs and interests of Latine employees at Pasadena City College. As part of this commitment, we will continue to strengthen our collaboration with various campus groups that share similar goals, including—but not limited to—the DREAM Center, the Cross Cultural Center, and the Division of Institutional Equity, Diversity and Justice. 

We remain dedicated to enhancing the community we've built since April 2012, while continuing to support the college's mission and its commitment to fostering an equity-minded learning environment for all students.

In solidarity, 

ALE Board Members.
