Stand Up for UC
At stake: The future of the nation’s leading public university system.
The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from the University of California, Los Angeles would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth, and reduce educational access.
From medical therapies that save lives to technologies that grow the U.S. economy and research that protects our national security, Americans across the country depend on the University of California.
Right now, we need your help. We must stand together to protect our students, staff, faculty and our mission.
