CHICANO AND CHICANA STUDIES DEPT. DENOUNCES THE RACISM VIOLENT SPEECH OF LA CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS LA FEDERATION PRESIDENT.

CSUN CHS Department calls for accountability for the harm caused byLA City Councilmembers and LA Labor Federation President.

The CSU Northridge Chicana o Studies Department condemns the racist, misogynistic, anti-immigrant, violent, and homophobic conversations between former Los Angeles City Council President and Councilmember Nury Martinez, Councilmember Kevin de León, Councilmember Gil Cedillo, and former Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. As a step toward accountability for the harm they caused we call for the immediate resignations of Councilmembers Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo. We acknowledge that Nury Martinez has resigned from the City Council and Ron Herrera from the LA Labor Federation.

As one of the largest Chicana o Studies Departments in the nation it is our responsibility to respond forcefully when elected officials and others engage in hate speech against members of the African American and Indigenous communities, as well as of other marginalized communities. It is especially urgent that we raise our voices when the perpetrators are Chicanx Latinx and are in positions of power and privilege to act on their hate speech. As educators we are also deeply troubled by the racism and violent speech directed at the young adopted African American child of Councilman Bonin.

We share many of the same social and environmental justice struggles with Black, Zapotec, Mayan, Native American, Indigenous, Chicanx Latinx, Central American, Asian American, Middle Eastern, and LGBTQ+ communities. Our very futures are intertwined with one another and the need for authentic solidarity among each other is urgent. We call for unity, solidarity, and the continued struggle for social justice in Los Angeles and beyond.

MEMO From President Harrison, March 23, 2020: Returning to Instruction Under a New Paradigm.

Courses were designed to provide students with an awareness of the social, political, economic, historical and cultural realities in our society. It was structured as an inter-disciplinary, area studies department in order to offer a Chicana o critique and perspective within the traditional disciplines.

A Master of Arts program was subsequently developed and now prepares students for academic, public service, education, artistic and cultural performance careers.
