Sunrise is building a movement across race and class to resist the Trump-Silicon Valley-Big Oil oligarchy, stop the climate crisis, and win a Green New Deal for communities throughout CA and the US. We use phone-banking, letter-writing, and direct action protest to fight for the policies and candidates we support. There is no one coming to save us; we must save ourselves.
What is the Green New Deal (GND)? The GND is a vision for the future of America that includes four central pillars:
(1). Stopping climate change (by moving our economy to run on 100% clean energy),
(2). Creating millions of good paying union jobs,
(3). Investing in racial and economic justice, and
(4). Reimagining our government to work for everyday people

The UCSC Powwow 2026 is a social gathering that brings together Native American communities from various tribes within California and Turtle Island (USA). This event is a celebration and honoring of cultural heritage here on Uypi and Amah Mutsun lands. Through this event, we also celebrate the life of Sophia Garcia Robles, a Native woman who served UCSC for 27 years in the Financial Aid office. She was actively involved with American Indian communities, and we express our deepest appreciation for her support.
The celebration includes dancing, singing, feasting, and the exchange of arts, crafts, and traditions, fostering unity and cultural pride among participants. This powwow is rooted in Indigenous traditions and aims to preserve cultural practices for future generations.
All are welcome, Native and non-Native folk, to experience and appreciate this cultural celebration. UCSC will host a shuttle from campus to the arena all day, 10:30 AM-7:00 PM. For any questions, please email airc@ucsc.edu.
