Centered on men in contemporary dance, Lives Beyond Motion is a love letter to every creative in arts.  Filmmaker, Keith Glassman, explores the lives of intergenerational and celebrated men who have made their mark on and off the stage.  It gifts us a rare level of transparency as they share their sacrifices, triumphs, and struggles to transcend economic, racial, and sexual marginalization.

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

May Day 2025 we are fighting back. Organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.

They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. This day of action is just the beginning. We're organizing not just for one day, but to build power in every neighborhood, on every shop floor, and in every school.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.

STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER.

WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW.

THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

Abundance is an emerging policy framework that emphasizes addressing affordability through increasing supply, overcoming regulatory burdens, and promoting innovation. UCLA researchers are participating in the Abundance Policy Research Consortium, a group working to develop an evidence-based, fundamentals-first policy agenda for California focusing on expanding access to 12 human essentials. In this Mini Symposium, we will present the frameworks for identifying scarcity problems and policy levers to improve California's housing and transportation affordability and supply, which are deeply intertwined.

The Trump administration is trampling the constitution, demolishing the treasury system, initiating trade wars, and pushing economy crushing budget proposals to fund tax cuts for his billionaire cronies.

Join us for a hands on training will which cover best practices for activism - where to find actions, how to make effective phone calls to elected representatives and how to use a variety of tools to get your message across.
