The policy is currently undergoing public review, but no one, not even the Berkeley campus paper, the Daily Cal, has reported on it, nor has any group organized a meeting on the topic. This may in part be an expression of the fact that it is now almost impossible to organiz...

As Veterans Against Hate and friends and family of people who served fighting the Nazis in World War II, we are disgusted that Nathan Damigo continues to attend a public institution like CSU Stanislaus that we all pay for with our taxes.

We call on everyone, especially Veterans, to put pressure on Nathan Damigo's mother, Charilyn Damigo, and demand that she kick him out of her home. By giving him a place to...

In each and every U.S. War, people of African ancestry have served with distinction. Before, during and after California Statehood, California Black Veterans have served in the face of adversity and historic systemic racism. The sacrifice on and off the battlefield by our service members and their families at home reflect the "price paid" for amazing new opportunities today. We are hopeful California Governor Jerry Brown will sign AB 376 into law as we prepare for Winter Crops in the "Farm...
