#ElectionDay

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

We were proud to make calls for @yesprop16 tonight! Remember to vote early, and vote YES on #Prop16!

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

We’re supporting the #ScholarStrike and joining our colleagues across @UCLA_Law in disrupting business-as-usual academia by not going to class and instead engaging in actions that will bring attention to the current racial climate. https://t.co/wY7d3P44mY

[Sandy Hudson @sandela]

I'll be participating in the #ScholarStrike even if nothing is officially planned @UCLA. But I sure hope that @UCLA_Law, the CRS Program, PILP, and student rep bodies @BLSAUCLA, @apilsa, @UCLA_SALSA, @uclalawsba, @bgsa_ucla, @ASUCLAStudentU organize something.

#BlackLivesMatter

[Alton Wang @altonwang]

5000 Asian Americans from across the country on a Zoom call to hear how to be better accomplices and take action with @Mvmnt4BlkLives, in a webinar that has ASL interpreting + closed captions

One clear message: we need to hit the streets and follow Black leaders in this moment

Today’s decision by SCOTUS finally affirms in law what we all already know should be: that LGBTQ+ people cannot be discriminated against in the workplace, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation. Now, we need to push for protections beyond the workplace.

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

#BREAKING: The Supreme Court has delivered a historic victory for LGBTQ workers, ruling that the federal law that bars sex discrimination in employment does apply to LGBTQ employees.

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

hi community—thank you for a strong first day ♥️ let’s keep it going. APILSA is the largest affinity group on campus which is a privilege & one small way to use that privilege is to show up with our resources.

[Public Comment @_PublicComment_]

@blmlosangeles marched to protest the #LAPD & Jackie Lacey. We marched for justice in the names of #GeorgeFloyd & the 600+ others murdered in LA. We marched in solidarity with our comrades in Michigan. Please donate to the bail fund https://t.co/wkrBZFPvNV

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

Updates related to our work on these issues are forthcoming. To the UCLA Law community, good luck on finals!

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

Thanks for coming to our community forum last week. There were 77 UCLA members in attendance, including Dean Mnookin and members of the faculty.

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

Update: Our community forum is being postponed until next week, as we are working on scheduling with the Dean. More details to follow! If you are a UCLA Law student, we highly encourage you to stay tuned and to attend.

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

APILSA stands with @UCLABLSA1 , who have started a campaign to address Eugene Volokh, who has used the n-word in lecture and non-lecture settings, and to bring attention to the experiences of Black students at UCLA Law. Please go show solidarity and check out their website!

UCLA Professor Sparks Outrage After ‘Wondering’ If His Chinese Students Could Spread Coronavirus

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

Thank you all again for your support. We wrote a public statement to respond to recent developments, including Professor Bainbridge’s public apology and the Dean’s school-wide email.

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

We are aware of the article posted by Eugene Volokh yesterday on his blog ("UCLA Law Dean apologizes . . . ."). We stand in solidarity with the UCLA Black Law Students Association, and are ready to help however we can. This is unacceptable.

[UCLA Law APILSA @apilsa]

Update: We are still planning a forum wherein students can have a conversation about xenophobic concerns and community healing. We gladly note that our Dean has expressed interest in attending. UCLA Law students - stay tuned for date and details. Thanks for your support!
