UCweVote Mission:
This coordinator will support UC we Vote, a University of California Student Association campaign which is defined as increasing the legislative power of the office and its constituents through organizing non-partisan student voter registration, education, and turnout efforts for every state and federal election on UC campuses. This coordinator will attend UCSA meetings (held once a month) to retrieve tasks that are given by the UC We Vote Chair and complete the task before the deadlines given.
ACQUIRE Mission:
This coordinator will support ACQUIRE, a University of California Student Association campaign which is defined as academic success depends on the availability of holistic resources and protections. Some of these resources and protections may include but are not limited to: safety from interpersonal violence, sexual violence, and hate crimes; retention services; mental and physical health services; academic accommodations; and support for basic needs. This coordinator will attend UCSA meetings (held once a month) to retrieve tasks that are given by the ACQUIRE Chair and complete the task before the deadlines given.
Fund the UC Mission:
This coordinator will support Fund the UC, a University of California Student Association campaign which is defined as ensuring affordability, quality, and access to the University of California by eliminating all tuition and fees, restoring per-student funding to adequate levels, and maintaining financial aid for the cost of living and other costs of attendance. Through identifying and securing dedicated progressive taxation revenue streams for the University of California we will achieve the original intent in the California Master Plan for Higher Education of an equitable higher education system for all. This coordinator will attend UCSA meetings (held once a month) to retrieve tasks that are given by the Fund The UC Chair and complete the task before the deadlines given.
Racial Justice Now Mission:
This coordinator will support RJN, a University of California Student Association campaign which is defined as fights for collective liberation and acknowledgment of our differences as we grow together as one society. This acknowledgment is crucial in order to prevent the erasure of our most marginalized communities, and therefore we must recognize that this ultimate goal is not something that can be achieved overnight. We must be intentional in our deliberate prudence towards our goals as we build community. The Racial Justice Now campaign strives to uplift the personhood and concerns of marginalized UC students to ensure their needs are met and their existence respected by the UCSA (and its individual board of directors), UCOP, the UC Regents, and the University of California via concrete policy changes. Our goal is to elevate students belonging to historically marginalized communities so that they are able to make the most of their education and graduate with their personhood(s) intact. Additionally central to this goal will be continued advocacy towards eradicating the school-to-prison-pipeline and supporting the formerly-incarcerated on their paths toward an education. The Racial Justice Now Campaign works to further end the disproportionate exposure of marginalized students, specifically black and brown students, to the criminal justice system, recognizing that these efforts are integral in the efforts of our collective liberation. This coordinator will attend UCSA meetings (held once a month) to retrieve tasks that are given by the RJN Chair and complete the task before the deadlines given.
