THE PEOPLE’S COALITION
The People’s Coalition (TPC) at University of California, Irvine, is a grassroots social justice group that organized during the George Floyd protests in response to the anti- Blackness and systemic racism present in organizations across the United States. TPC is open to all and includes students, staff, faculty and researchers who are developing different initiatives focused on making long-term structural changes at the School of Education. In its first year, TPC developed an Undergraduate Support Hub, an Anti-Racism Clinic, a Summer Learning Institute, and a Critical Race Theory conference. |
