Jollene Levid

What tools for sustainability have we inherited from our movement foremothers? How can we effectively address internal organizational collective conflict while simultaneously upholding a united front against our oppressors? Learn from a full-time organizer of 16 years about avoiding burnout and living with the organizer joy that we so deserve and fight daily to gain.

Conscious Conversations Series
Sharing Tips on Navigating Remote Learning
Ronaldo Noche
Online
The MCC is excited to launch informally led, themed discussion spaces! Join us this month (May) every Monday, to unpack and deconstruct issues that are affecting UCSB students and communities beyond campus. We hope you all, especially those most vulnerable and marginalized, use this platform as a safe and brave space to share experiences or worries if needed, as we all connect with other people with whom we can build networks of community.
Cup of Culture
The Hate You Give
Online
To uphold our weekly film screenings and discussions, we will be transforming our cup of culture series into a virtual setting. Every Wednesday, we will watch a Netflix documentary or movie as a collective and we will have a post-film discussion afterwards.
The Hate U Give manages to seamlessly blend social justice and well-written teenage drama. Not many movies can both appeal to teenagers and introduce them to important political issues such as police brutality and private prisons, but The Hate U Give does so successfully.
