Lunch & Learn - Dr Sang Hea Kil
Dr. Sang Hea Kil was a professor in the Justice Studies Department at San Jos State University and was also the faculty advisor for Students for Justice in Palestine at the college, when she was fired in November of 2025, for supporting students protesting the genocide of the Palestinian people. An arbitrator recently ruled that after nearly two years, she must be reinstated as a tenured professor, as her termination was excessive and should be reduced to a one month unpaid suspension. Come hear directly from Dr. Kil on July 25th at 12pm where a light lunch will be served.

Does Your One Vote Really Make a Difference? Yes, It Literally Can!
The outcome of two of our local elections in recent years hinged on a single vote. Especially with local races, every single vote matters! Margaret Okuzumi, a veteran community and political activist, will present on these case studies, and discuss what the consequences were of candidates coming up one vote short. Then we’ll focus on the question, how does one decide what candidates and measures to vote for? How can you tell which candidates are actually going to walk their talk?
