University of Mass Destruction: UC Students Demanding “No More Nukes In Our Name!” For over six decades, the University of California has been the United States government’s primary nuclear weapons research and design contractor.

Scientists at these laboratories – UC employees, all – have designed every nuclear warhead in the US arsenal, of which there have been 65 designated types (1). UC nuclear weaponeers have also carried out close to every US nuclear weapons test d...

UC Hunger Strike Against Weapons Labs Passes 1-Week Mark 
A hunger strike initiated by 44 UC students, several alumni and a professor has passed its 1-week mark. The hunger strikers are demanding that the UC Board of Regents withdraw from their contracts to operate Los Alamos and Livermore National Laboratories based on, “the grounds that the Reliable Replacement Warhead program and Los Alamos Labs’ ongoing preparations to conduct plutonium pit manufacturing both clearly violate Article VI of the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.” The hunger ...

Leveraging the Academy: Suggestions for Radical Grad Students and Radicals Considering Grad School Romanticized, demonized, celebrated, denounced -- among activists in the United States and Canada, academia is all of these things. It is a gate-keeping institution that shapes and is shaped by relations of power and privilege. It is a site of intense struggle: those who are structurally excluded battle for access, while those who study there fight for affordable and relevant education, and those who work there demand dignity, respect, and living wages. It is a place both wh...

What you need to know about GSHIP and grad healthcare at UCSC 
Most graduate students are enrolled in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP). According to the contract between the TA's union (UAW) and the university, 100% of the GSHIP fees are remitted for TAs. The benefits from the union contract are shared by all grad students, who get the same coverage when they buy in to GSHIP.
So what's the problem? Well, our union contract guarantees that the university will pay the costs of GSHIP, but it doesn't guarantee anything about what kind of...

Urgent Actions for Oakland Schools We are at a crossroads in stopping the closure of schools and getting
back local control for Oakland. The good news is we have a bill to
return local control (AB 45), in the state assembly and it looks like
it may pass. However the work to stop the school closures is at a
turning point with only a month and a half before closure, we are
bringing our resolution for a moratorium on closures to the school
board and we are turning up the heat on State education official Jack
O'Connell. Edu...
