OUR MISSION:

UC Unbowed exists to create collective pressure to strengthen the University of California as a pillar of power in support of democracy.

We fulfill our mission by organizing UC alumni and the community to defend the University of California from an authoritarian regime, and to demand that the University act with integrity and a whole-hearted commitment to democratic values.

OUR VISION:

We envision a University of California that advances knowledge, transforms lives, and serves the diverse people of California. As the world’s preeminent public research university system, UC must light the way for colleges and universities to serve as engines of social mobility, innovation, and academic freedom, accessible to all.
