Green New Deal at UCSD

Although many mature universities pride themselves on embracing racial diversity, their founding often has a dark history. Congress passed, in 1862, the Morrill Act, which gave states land to establish universities for the purpose of expanding access to higher education. UC Berkeley and some other University of California Schools are some of these institutions! Unfortunately, these universities' current property formerly belonged to tribal nations and was brutally taken away from them!

To better understand what the UC System is now doing to mitigate this legacy, please check out the ‘UC Land Grab’ symposium that will occur on October 23rd from 9 am to 12:30 pm PST. There will be awesome speakers from places such as the North Fork Mono Tribe and UC Davis!

Green New Deal at UCSD

It's time to mobilize! Take three actions with us today!
Over the last month and a half we've been pushing a petition calling on the University of California to develop a new energy plan that doesn't rely on fossil fuels. Now it's time to take our petition to the administration and make a splash in the public eye.

We're calling on you, as a supporter of this petition, to take three actions today:
1. Send emails to your Chancellor, UC President Drake, and the UC Regents telling them to address our asks,
2. Post on social media to show your support of this petition ask, and
3. Use a Zoom background that draws attention to our petition
#GetOffTheGas
