NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. https://t.co/UUxYqpTF72

That time of year! I'm adding new content to the Environmental and Climate Justice syllabus! I am in the process of linking our new databases resource too and wanted to remind instructors and students that this resource is freely available to all! https://t.co/wfBdu3DaKd

Should we stop using the word #stakeholder in #participatory #engagement research & practice?

Our paper critically examines the limitations of "stakeholder" and its ambiguity, normativity, potential for (further) exclusion & marginalisation.

i hate to connect the dots but the next few years in the US are going to be rough: homelessness criminalized, masking bans, federal agencies stripped of regulatory power, heat waves, etc so it’s best to get prepared now & build a strong community

Local climate adaptation planning is increasingly viewed through a social justice lens. Plans from more Republican-leaning communities considered recognitional and distributional justice to a lesser degree than those from more Democratic-leaning areas https://t.co/LZWKwM091z

Bombing the tents of people you displaced. A war crime on top of a war crime.

On June 7th, an Orange County judge issued a restraining order against the @uaw_4811, rendering their strike illegal. This move goes against California law. So why did he do it—and what does it mean for the strike?

The answer to *WHY* UCLA keeps calling in cops to crush student encampments:

How history is written:

[UCLA Faculty Association @uclafa]

This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

BREAKING: Directly after the Superior Court’s decision to grant a temporary restraining order against our strike, workers at UCSC entered an extensive process of deliberation. This included emergency dept meetings, two campus-wide meetings, and an exhaustive inquiry. Results 🧵

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Defund this. Defund it now.

[R&F for a Democratic Union @uclarnf]

UCLA IS READY TO STAND UP!! 🪧 UAW 4811 must maximize pressure and leverage during this strike, including by utilizing UCLA’s strike power immediately!

Remember the president of ⁦@Columbia⁩ canceled graduation after arresting 200 of her own students? Today those same students stood strong by holding a beautiful alternative graduation ceremony at St. John the Divine near campus.

Major display of student power.👊⤵️

🚨🚨 ALL UCLA PEOPLE: PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY TOMORROW

Come join our coworkers to discuss striking and disrupting this university for Divestment!

[Daily Bruin @dailybruin]

Around 14 protesters with signs calling for UC divestment blocked three entrances to Parking Structure 2 at around 9:20 a.m. UCLA Transportation gave alternative parking instructions to drivers outside the lot.

Urban planning, urban design, architecture, public policy, engineering, I believe this is our field. Are we only able to think and act on the destruction of housing and communities only after decades of hand wringing? https://t.co/2V62ktGkTx
