Davina works as a senior custodian at UCLA, but can't afford to live anywhere near campus. She drives 120 miles round-trip every day! And if she's too exhausted to drive home, she sleeps in her car. Davina's tired of UC executives getting huge pay raises and housing assistance, while she struggles to make ends meet.

Rosa works hard as a nursing assistant at UC Irvine, yet her paycheck is so low she couldn’t afford housing near campus—and ended up homeless. Meanwhile, UC executives are given huge raises! What's it going to take for UC to finally see workers like Rosa?

Ruth has spent 19 years caring for patients as a pharmacy technician at UC San Diego—but she can’t afford her own health care. The work has taken a toll on her body, yet her paycheck doesn’t even cover the copays for the treatment she needs. Meanwhile, UC has purchased eight hospitals in just the past two years! They have a lot of money—it’s just not being used to care for their workers.

Do UC executives think they’re auditioning for The Gilded Age? Someone really needs to tell them that creating a permanent underclass of low-wage workers isn’t actually a good thing.

76% of UC’s frontline workers still can’t afford a one-bedroom home.*

Hey UC, perhaps it’s time to stop digging? 🪏🪏🪏

Be honest. When alumni said we wanted UC to lead, is this the direction you thought its executives would go?
