Dear LRC Community,

Dear LRC Community,

Whether one is Christian or not, or even religious, the message of the birth or emergence of a savior during the heart of winter, in times of duress, of great need, is a story told across cultures, as the constant rebirth of hope, clarity, and succor.

In these times of heightened racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the championing of war, violence, and intimidation, gratitude for what we have in each other’s friendship, courage, and kindness, is all the more medicinal.

Dear LRC Community,

Thank you to all who joined us at the Latinx Research Center for our vibrant Día de los Muertos celebration on October 30. Together, we honored and remembered our loved ones while sharing culture, tradition, pan dulce, chocolate caliente, and meaningful conversation before and after the screening of La Ofrenda: The Days of the Dead (1988) by the Bay Area's late Chicana queer filmmaker, Lourdes Portillo.

Dear LRC Community, 

As the federal government shutdown continues, millions of Californians are seeing disruptions to their CalFresh (SNAP) benefits — putting families' access to nutritious food at risk. Here, we have forwarded a message from Assemblymember Buffy Wicks with valuable food assistance resources included. 

Don't Miss These Exciting Upcoming Events in and for our Community!

Dear LRC Community,

Welcome back to campus for the Fall 2025 semester! More than ever, we are grateful to begin another year of collaboration, shared research, and community building at UC Berkeley. These times call for supportive community and appreciation of each other and the work we do, remembering that our research, teaching, and community work have helped to transform and further democratize our country.
