Frente
Estudiantil Laboral
(Student Worker Front)
conciencia
libre works to improve labor conditions on the UCLA campus. We
have supported UCLA workers of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union Local 3299, in their
struggle against subcontracting, short staffing, wage cuts, dignity
in the workplace, and a better standard of living. Our participation
has included flyering, visiting workers at their workplace, their
homes, also organizing student support for rallies, and the unionization
of ASUCLA workers.

Proyecto
de Jornaleros
(Day Laborer Project)
In collaboration with the Popular Education Institute of Southern
California (IDEPSCA), based in the Pico Union area of Los Angeles
and the Downtown (Los Angeles) Community Job Center, conciencia
libre gives jornaleros (day laborers) English classes and one
on one literacy classes. Through these classes UCLA students are
able to learn 1st hand about the social injustices that recent
immigrants endure in the US.
