We Need a Mass Walkout NOW!

How the fuck is anyone -- students, staff, or faculty -- going on like business as usual?

Our nation is undergoing a coup d'état by Elon Musk and his henchmen, who've seized the financial payment system of the US Federal Government (which manages the disbursement of trillions of taxpayer funds).

As we speak, a literal concentration camp for at least 30,000 individuals is being prepared at fucking Gitmo and talks are ongoing with El Salvador to ship people, including US citizens, to work camps there.

This morning it was announced that an executive order is being prepared to disband the Department of Education -- Say goodbye to your financial aid and civil rights in educational settings.

UCLA's administration has made no statements or communicated any intention to stand for its students, staff, or faculty to protect our rights, interests, or let alone defend the most marginalized of us -- many of whom are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

UCLA, which relies on federal funding, will 100% bend the knee and is absolutely under a microscope for retribution by the federal government given it was the epicenter of the Israel-Palestine protests last year.

We cannot tolerate business as usual! We must rise up and advocate for ourselves by refusing to participate and provide value to an institution that sees us as nothing but cattle to exploit!
