Public Health
Situation
The UC system has shown itself to be extremely unprepared for how the pandemic has affected our lives. Local leasing companies are taking any chance they can get to make a profit off of the situation, public health and facts have become a political issue, and local government has been slow to respond to the crisis. We have made it our priority to provide our communities with the necessary knowledge and to advocate for solutions to remedy the situation until a vaccine can be provided.
