The primary election is the first time Angelenos will cast ballots under a brand-new model, one that includes state-of-the-art equipment, an updated design for mail-in ballots and new locations for in-person voting. This semester, as Los Angeles County transitions from polling places to vote centers, Occidental College is a proud participant in the Vote Center Placement Project.

The event will consist of a catered dinner, open mic night, trivia game, and a screening of Anabel Gullo's "The City and the Sea" documentary screening. This is an opportunity to bring together students, faculty, and staff to close out UN Week 2020.
Co-sponsored with FEAST
Jasmin Vargas (Food and Water Watch) and Dominique Hargreaves (LA Mayor's office, Deputy Sustainability Officer) will discuss environmental activism and organizing in the Los Angeles area, bringing together unique perspectives from a grassroots activist organization like Food and Water Watch and an institutional/political perspective from the LA Mayor's office. Topics will cover the different challenges commonly experienced within these different sectors, and how these different areas of environmental activism within LA interact with one another.
