Learn about upcoming Class of ’68 events as they evolve. The Center on Civility & Democratic Engagement (CCDE), founded by the Class of ’68, is sponsoring a panel discussion on Saturday, October 7 at 10:00 a.m. Details to follow. The Center provides stipends to 3 Cal students each semester who are going to the UCDC program. It also supports second-year Goldman School of Public Policy Master’s Degree students working on projects. Spring semester projects involved work with: the City of Richmond developing policies for vacant land; community groups in Oakland on developing noise policies; a non-profit in Nevada to organize small farmers to preserve farm water; the City of Oakland’s Ethics Commission to increase contributions and voter turnout; small farmers in Kenya and India to get better technical assistance; and an analysis of District Attorney elections, as well as a study of voting rights policies for the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated.
