U C Students Mobilize for COLA AND “Living Out” at Robert Cohen Theater
Returning to Ask A Leader is UCI Lecturer and labor organizer Keith Danner, to take up the mobilizing of UC system academic student employees to keep up with their living costs while they serve students.

And yes, the program’s definitely got a through line – the haves and the have nots; a bit more not having than having.
