SUMMARY:Book talk | Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism with Allyson Brantley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Book Talk on Tuesday\, May 18th at 2pm with Dr. Allyson Brantley\, author of Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism. Brewing a Boycott tells the story of one of the longest anti-corporate campaigns in U.S. history\, the Coors Boycott. From the 1950s to the 1990s\, union members\, progressive students\, Black and Chicano activists\, Native Americans\, feminists\, and members of the LGBTQ+ community built a powerful coalition to fight the antiunionism\, discrimination\, and notoriously conservative politics of Coors Brewing Company. The activists at the heart of this campaign built bridges between divided communities\, developed innovative campaign strategies\, and refused to give up until the company met their demands. The story highlights the vibrancy of activism in the final decades of the twentieth century and the enduring legacy of that organizing for communities\, consumer activists\, and corporations today. \nDr. Allyson Brantley teaches\, researches\, and writes about the history of the United States\, particularly in the 20th century. Her interests include the history of consumer culture\, social movements and activism\, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Dr. Brantley received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 2016 and her B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 2009. Her recent publications include “Borderlands of Work\,” a review for the New Labor Forum\, and “’Mexico\, At Our Very Door’: Prohibition-Era Brewing in the US-Mexico Borderlands\,” in the Journal of the West (Summer 2016). \nJoin us on Facebook Live: facebook.com/UCLALaborStudies

SUMMARY:The Drivers – A Short Play About the Experiences of Uber/Lyft Drivers
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, May 19 at 4PM PT as we premiere The Drivers – A Short Play About the Experiences of Uber/Lyft Drivers performed by students from Labor Studies 152\, Winter 2021: Work\, Social Justice and Arts taught by Professor Janna Shadduck-Hernández. \nPlay Description \nDuring the height of the COVID 19 pandemic\, four Uber drivers meet in the morning at LAX. The play follows each driver throughout the day\, culminating in their return to LAX that evening. This play explores the isolation of the American Worker\, the shared bonds of their humanity\, and the extremes that individuals go to for survival. \nThis play was developed by the performers through interviews and writing exercises\, later compiled by Kyle J McCloskey – an MFA playwright here at UCLA – to create the experience of small moments that make up a life for rideshare drivers during the pandemic. \nPerformers  \n\nKyle J. McCloskey – UCLA MFA student – playwright and actor\nEmely Molina – UCLA Undergraduate student  – actor\nSamreen Siddiqui – UCLA Undergraduate student  – actor\nJoel Ojeda – UCLA Undergraduate student  – actor\nJacob Skarr – UCLA Undergraduate student – narrator\n\nWATCH HERE
