DisarmUC
About Us
DisarmUC is a movement, a collective, which seeks to disarm campus police across University of California campuses. We recognize that as the militarization of police sweeps our country it directly impacts the University of California system - it puts students and workers in harms way. We say no more.

This isn't a theoretical call. Campus police have taken lives across the country, and as we remember Sam Duboce we call for action. To advance the safety and welfare of our communities we must disarm campus police and end the continued militarization of the University.
