On April 23, from noon-1pm, California State University Monterey Bay MSW students are hosting a peaceful demonstration, Standing in Our Power in front of the Otter Student Union (OSU) building. It is to bring awareness to the ongoing experiences of Black students who are being targeted by anti-Black racism and left feeling unsupported by the current administration. Incidents of anti-Black racism on campus have been escalating, and the need to respond is immediate.
This demonstration is not only about raising awareness, but also about affirming that Black students deserve to feel safe, heard, and supported and that all Black faculty and staff deserve support and safety as well. We are calling on community leaders like you to help amplify this message and advocate for change. The event will feature musical inspiration in the African American traditions as well as reflections and insights from students, faculty, community leaders and more.
Community members are urged to attend.

VPA Visiting Artist Julio César Morales
The artistic practice of Julio César Morales (b. 1966, Tijuana) employs a range of media and visual strategies to explore issues of migration, underground economies, and labor, on personal and global scales. He works by whatever means necessary: in a series of watercolor illustrations, Morales diagramed means of human trafficking in passenger vehicles, while in other projects he employed the DJ turntable, neon signs, the historical reenactment of a famous meal, or the conventions of an artist-run gallery to explore social interaction and political perspectives.
Morales’ artwork has been shown at venues internationally, including; the Lyon Biennale, France; Istanbul Biennale, Turkey; Los Angeles County Art Museum, Los Angeles; Singapore Biennale, Singapore; Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt, Germany; Prospect 3, New Orleans; SFMOMA, San Francisco; Perez Art Museum, Miami; Museo Tamayo, Mexico City; Museo del Barrio, New York City; The UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Manetti Shrem Museum of Art,…

Empathy in Action Film Screening
Going Inside: Empathy in Action is an award-winning documentary that explores rehabilitation through raw dialogue, vulnerability, and authentic connection between incarcerated individuals and members of the community. Filmed at the California Training Facility in Soledad, the film highlights personal growth, accountability, and the transformative power of seeing and treating people as human beings rather than labels.
The film is featured as part of Project Rebound's Second Chances Month programming. Second Chances Month is a nationwide initiative observed each April that raises awareness about the barriers people face after incarceration and uplifts stories of redemption, opportunity, and successful reentry. Through this screening, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue about healing, accountability, and the importance of creating pathways for second chances in our communities.
