Access to UCLA Radio station remains locked by university. Our station was swept in the middle of our news hour, centered around the encampment in Royce quad and yesterday’s horrific events on campus. UCLA is painfully complicit. Limited programming will be available today.

Sending love as Passover approaches, to Jewish college students. In particular, a shout to those whose Jewish practices are being invisibilized and rendered anti-Jewish. Your pro-Palestine activism is not a threat to "Jewish students." It is an extension of your Judaism.
