AAUP National Day of Action, November 7

On January 24, 2025, from 10am to noon, the UCLA Brain Research Institute, the UCLA Faculty Association, the Paramount Library, and the office of Assemblymember José Luis Solache are sponsoring a Community Science Day at the Paramount Library. We are looking forward to reaching out to the community to talk about all the exciting science happening at UCLA! We are also hoping to build support for SB 895, principally co-authored by Assemblymember Solache, which will establish the California Foundation for Science and Health Research.

On November 18, 2025 during the meeting of the Regents on campus, we joined UC Unbowed, a new organization of UC alumni, to call on the Regents to not cave to the demands of the Trump administration.

On October 12, 2025, we held a rally on the Tongva Steps to strategize future efforts given our successful legal effort to get the UC to release the Trump “demand letter.” The UC had gone to extensive efforts, appealing all the way to the Supreme Court of California, to prevent it from being released to the public.

On October 12, 2025 we had a Welcome Back All Members meeting at Mira Hershey Hall on the UCLA campus, with roughly 70 members in attendance.

Since May we have been holding weekly vigils calling for the release of students and all people illegally abducted, deported, and imprisoned by the Trump administration. We meet at 12:30pm on Mondays in front of Powell Library and all are welcome.
