This year was historic and I am so humbled to have been a part of it. From serving as President in the Pandemic to also being the first Latina to hold this office. I am passing the torch of change to all of you to run with it. Our student body is powerful. Love, Victoria Vera

We were confronted COVID-19, the 2020 Election cycle, the fight for racial justice, the impacts of climate change and so much more. This year challenged the moral compass of our University and it was the challenge of student leaders to steer and retain our collective principles.

Being ASUC President has challenged me in so many ways. Words cannot intimately describe how much this position has allowed me to grow as a leader and as an individual.

35% of UC students rely on #PellGrant for things like food and housing. But over time, the purchasing power of Pell has eroded, which is why we’re asking Congress to #DoublePell! Join us ~ #UC4Pell

“When you’re the marginalized group, and you’re the person who has to experience isolation in the spaces you occupy, you have to think about these things often. But if you’re not, you might not think about it at all, and that’s privilege in itself.”

Want to share this again!! Make sure you know the resources available to you as a student!!
During this summer, ASUC Executives worked with the Academic Senate to create this document of resources for when students have concerns about their instructors or courses. Please share with your community and outreach if you have any questions.

Big day today for housing and climate policy in Berkeley! Off-street parking requirements drive up rents and encourage car usage. Come to Berkeley City Council today and voice your support for abolishing them.
Reminder! This is happening on Tuesday at 4:00. Here is the zoom link. I will add details to the thread below.

If parking minimums are kept in the Hillside Overlay, it would seriously impact the ability of the Southside Plan to produce badly needed student housing.
Some of you have asked about the Hillside overlay. (Commission only wants narrow road exemption while staff and Hahn wants to maintain minimums in hills with no option of reduction) The Hillside Overlay is the dotted line.
