Who is attending #OAH2023? I am excited to share some of what I have learned as an @ohassociation @nehgov oral history fellow. How can oral historians engage in social justice work?

To Martha Escudero of Reclaiming Our Homes occupying vacant Caltrans homes in El Sereno isn’t just about survival. “We don’t deserve just bread. We deserve roses and joy and pleasure and fun and community.” My first story for Los Angeles Public Press: lapublicpress.org/2023/04/fight-…

While we rejoice in the return of baby Mila, we must not forget the terror & trauma that the family policing system and its collusion of CPS, cops & doctors inflicted on her & her parents—and inflicts on Black families every single day. #AbolishCPS cnn.com/2023/04/24/us/…

Our community of abortion storytellers grieves the loss of Gabriella Gonzalez, 26, a Texas mother of 3 who was fatally shot by her boyfriend after traveling to Colorado to get an abortion. Gabriella should be alive today, and she should have been able to access abortion in TX.

Having failed to fund @uaw2865's hard-won contract, UC admin is using the "budgetary emergency" to make significant cuts to undergraduate education. Layoffs of teaching faculty and increases to instructional workloads hurt our members, our families, and our students 🧵

In a charming Northeast LA craftsman home we learned about “swarm and nest” as a union tactic to grow membership. Organizing teaching faculty at a UC campus is no easy feat, but we’re up for the challenge. University Council - AFT @LuceCaroline
