Workers from all over Orange County came together for the May Day March & Rally in honor of International Workers’ Day on Tuesday morning.
The group of advocates was made up of union and nonunion workers and community groups. The goal of the march was to fight for living wages and remember the workers of the past who worked for low wages and no benefits. “We are standing up for the national holiday for workers ... We’re looking for the workers in the future that need to be represented by labor and need to have a voice in the workplace, need to have justice, affordable health care, dignity and respect,” said
Gilbert Davila, president of the Orange County Labor Federation, which hosted the march. On May 1, 1886 the first May Day celebration took place when, across the United States, over 300,000 workers from 13,000 businesses walked out of their jobs. The protest was in response to employees who struggled with working 10 to 16 hour shifts in poor conditions. Over a hundred years later, the workers of the past are honored, and current employees march every first
of May. The event began with an optional mass at the St. Boniface Church in Anaheim. The group then gathered together in the parking lot of the church where Anaheim Mayor Pro Tem Jose F. Moreno welcomed participants with a short speech of support. The Korean Resource Center, which is based in Buena Park and Koreatown in Los Angeles, also joined the march. SEE LABOR

The Bruins secured their lead in the top of the fourth inning after a fielding error from the Titans third baseman Emily Randall, who started in place of Bryanna Ybarra, allowed two runners to score. Fullerton scored one run in the seventh inning, but second baseman Irie Siofele struck out, leaving two runners on base to close the game. “I think sometimes we psych ourselves out but we have the talent to do whatever we want,”
pitcher Sophie Frost said. “I think seeing them right now boosts our confidence.” The Titans struck out a season-high 11 batters and reached double digits for only the second time this season. Trish Parks retired five and gave up seven hits in her three innings pitched. Frost allowed five hits, but left six Bruins empty-handed. SEE DEFEAT

Anyone walking by the Titan Student Union Pavilion on Monday night would’ve seen women in colorful wigs, a man wearing a cowboy hat and dancers with long, metal fingernails practicing routines and munching on snacks. It was the eighth annual Culture Couture event held by the Association for InterCultural Awareness, a branch of ASI Programming dedicated to increasing cultural awareness on campus. The event is a multicultural festival that highlights the diverse history and traditions of Cal State Fullerton’s cultural clubs and organizations in one night. “We have a wide variety of (cultural clubs), and they all came together to put this show together through their fashion, their art and their performances,” said Esther Feng, Association for InterCultural Awareness events coordinator.

Members from the center played Korean drums throughout the event to show their support for the cause. “We participate in a lot of marches in Orange County and actions because we’re supportive of workers rights, immigrants rights and we support health care for all. We came out today just to support the workers, especially all of the workers of Disneyland,” said Ashley Yu, the communications and development manager for the center. Davila said Disneyland Resort employees and supporters went door to door, throughout April, to find registered voters in the city, and collected over 20,000 signatures to raise wages. The petitions asked for living wages for resort area workers, and aim to put the issue on the November voting ballot for the City of Anaheim. The marchers submitted those petitions at the Anaheim City Hall after speeches were made by Disneyland resort workers for the rally portion of the day. The average hourly wage for Disneyland Resort workers has

The rally ended at Pearson Park where union workers and community members spoke about their struggles in the workforce. “I’m tired of playing defense and I think it’s time for labor to be on the offense. It’s time to start pushing these initiatives not only in Anaheim but all through Orange County, all through California and all through the United States,” said Matt Bell, executive vice president of UFCW Union Local 324, a food and commercial workers union. Davila said organized marches for workers are important because they give workers a voice and hope for the future. “The risk (if nothing happens) is what’s happening right now, a spiral downward,” Davila said. “Homelessness is on a rise and a lot of (the homeless) are union members that work for big employers that don’t give a livable wage, affordable health care and a pension plan for their workers.”

JUAN VILLEGAS Santa Ana City Council member
Santa Ana City Council voted unanimously on April 25 to include all 34 Orange County cities in the ongoing lawsuit against the county over homeless issues. The lawsuit was initially directed at Irvine, Laguna Niguel and Huntington Beach for their refusal to shelter the homeless population removed from the Santa Ana Riverbed. The initial plan for these cities to take in homeless people faced opposition, and was later rescinded by the county board of supervisors. Santa Ana demands a solution that distributes the homeless population more evenly. “It has taken too long for other Orange County cities to realize Santa Ana has dealt with an unfair burden for years,” said council member Vicente Sarmiento in an April 25 statement, which the Daily Titan was directed to upon request for comment. In the past, Santa Ana has tried to work with the cities on
the issue, but in a statement by the city, it voiced dissatisfaction with the other cities’ unwillingness to help. The statement recalled the instance when only 12 of the 33 cities sent representatives to a June 2017 meeting on the situation. Federal Judge David O. Carter, who has also expressed frustration with how the situation is currently being handled, is presiding over the lawsuit. In a March 25 court filing, he aired his concern with the county’s “cramming” of homeless people into insufficiently-sized facilities. Carter said the overcrowding, along with “loud noises and dirty conditions,” has worsened a multitude of other problems in the area like sexual harassment and the aggravation of residents’ mental illness. Sarmiento said it was Carter’s efforts, along with increasing noticeability of homeless tarps, that brought the issue to the attention of the other cities. According to county findings,

Orange County had 2,584 unsheltered homeless people as of 2017. Not only does this make up 54 percent of the current homeless population in the county, but the number of unsheltered has also grown by over 900 since 2013. A 2018 Point-in-Time count found that 1,030 homeless people resided within the city of Santa Ana, 564 more than when the last count was conducted in January 2017. Sandra M. Schwarzmann and John M. Funk, city attorneys for Santa Ana, said in court filings that the inaction from the 33 cities violates the Eighth Amendment, along with the equal protection and due process clause in the 14th Amendment. “We are willing to continue being a leader in these efforts, but we need the county and our fellow cities to be good partners,” said Santa Ana council member Juan Villegas in a news release. “We demand better of our neighbors.”

ASI moves to create a social justice commission
The Board of Directors’ unanimous vote was met with cheers.
“There’s still concerns, but at least the door has been opened,” Sanchez said. “Now opening the door for students at large is shifting the culture and that’s very exciting.” Maria Linares, who will serve on the board of directors for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences for the 2018-2019 school year, was part of the group of activists supporting the resolution. Linares said she wants to ensure the social justice commission is handled properly. “I’m very committed to this campus and to our marginalized communities. I want them to have a place to come to where they feel safe and feel we have compassion for them,” Linares said. The resolution mandates Associated Students leaders receive training during the fall semester on college activism. It also creates a social media college activism campaign for Associated Students to share on its platforms to help, “address the stigma of social advocacy efforts on campus.” The resolution also encourages other campuses to form social justice commissions of their own. Members of the board of directors, including Mackenzie Sheppard, newly appointed chair of the Elections Judicial Council, expressed interest in the formation of the commission. She proposed an amendment to the resolution to appoint an executive officer to oversee the efforts of the commission, to make sure it is active and engaged with the campus. “It made me proud and I am glad they didn’t restrict it and passed it almost as is,” Linares said. Newly elected Associated Students Vice President Ana Aldazabal said she always envisioned having a spot for social justice in their presidency. “Josh and I always talked about a social justice committee or commission,” Aldazabal said. “I’ve always stood for a social justice committee especially on this campus. I’m really excited for next year because now we can get started on the stages of creating it.”
BENJAMIN BURKHARDT Staff Writer
Starting next academic year, Associated Students will have a commission acting on social justice causes. The Associate Students board of directors board room erupted in cheers Tuesday afternoon when the board unanimously voted to pass a resolution calling for the creation of a social justice commission. The social justice and civil disobedience resolution was sponsored by Jesse Rodriguez and had distinguished support from student activist Liz Sanchez, who helped draft the resolution. It will allow for the formation of a social justice commission and encourage social justice campaigns for marginalized communities. Sanchez was present to answer questions during the discussion portion before the board voted. During the voting process, it was decided there will not be a specific executive officer assigned to lead the commission until the committee is officially formed. The resolution is valuable because it can bridge the gaps between student leaders and student activists by giving them an opportunity to stand side by side with activists, Sanchez said. However, students who support this resolution are aware there are details that need to be worked out, like who will lead the commission.

With dozens of cultural clubs on campus, it might be difficult to experience what each one has to offer. “(Different clubs) all have their own culture nights, but it’s all individual. What we do here is bring them all together and share it all,” Feng said. The Pilipino-American Student Association had its members dance the traditional Filipino Pangalay dance wearing colorful skirts and long, gold fingernail extensions. Three students from the Japanese Anime Club performed in maids costumes and neon wigs, which are iconic to the anime culture. The CSUF Salsa Club brought Hispanic heat to the dance floor, incorporating some
modern moves. Andrea Bran, one of the salsa performers, grew up listening to the music, but never learned how to sway her hips and move to it until she joined the club. Surprised by how culturally diverse the club is, she said she’s also learned to be more open-minded. “You’ll meet a lot of different people because it’s not just Hispanics who join. There are so many different types of ethnicities that join because they just want to learn the dance. I wasn’t expecting that at all,” Bran said. Apart from performances, there were booths that offered guests another way to learn about other cultures. Students could get their names translated into Farsi, the official language of Iran, by the Iranian Student Association or get a

Many students might have wandered into the pavilions wondering what all the cheers and costumes were for, but some left impacted by the cultural diversity in the room.

Chapa said her favorite part was the break dancing performances, and said the multicultural festival opened her eyes to different cultures. “It was a culture shock,” Chapa said. “It was a lot of information at once but it was exciting. There was a lot of colors and a lot of different people in the community here.”

Brea Improv previews upgraded location
The comedy club hopes the new venue will increase visibility. DIANE ORTIZ Staff Writer
The legendary comedic stage is highlighted by spotlights, showcasing a sign that reads “Improv” sitting on a brick wall. The main showroom room mimics other improv clubs that have made their way into movies like “Funny People.” “On this Brea improv stage, careers like that of comedian Brad Williams were born. Brea Improv has been a part of the community since 1989 when it was located inside the Brea Marketplace on Birch Street. Now, the club is looking forward to another face-lift, expansion and relocation just a few blocks away. Robert Hartmann, one of the founding members of Levity Entertainment Group, which owns the improv brand, said the Brea location is particularly special to him. “That was the first club I ever invested in at the beginning of my career. It (has) a lot of significance to me,” Hartmann said. The new club will have 500 seats and allow for better sound, light and video systems. The new venue is brighter and the stage mirrors a theater more than a stage for comedy. “This is like going from driving a 1978 Nissan to a Ferrari. It’s a completely different change that can accommodate really doing anything,” Hartmann said. The new venue is scheduled to hold a variety of events, including shows like the upcoming “Broadway Princess Party,” which will feature the Disney characters Belle, Jasmine and Cinderella. Hartmann said the comedy club will also begin, inviting internet celebrities to perform. Dan Kleinberg, the club’s general manager, has been at the Brea location for a year and said relocating will enhance the view of the club, making it more visible to the community. “I think there are a lot of people that forgot about comedy in the community. But now we’re getting this fresh look, they’re all going to want to come back and check out the new location,” Kleinberg said. The exterior of the building will don large brick walls. The
After renovations are finished, the new location will serve as Brea Improv’s third move to a different building.
back exterior wall of the improv will be lined with handcrafted art made by students from elementary schools in Brea. The Student Brick Art program sponsored by the comedy club asked students to write or draw the things they found funny on bricks which will be featured on the wall. “I think it’s a fun way to acknowledge our history and support for the community,” Hartmann said. The Brea Improv is also looking to continue working with fundraisers and community events. “We want to make sure that the people understand we are here for everybody else around us,” Kleinberg said. The new building is still under construction but is anticipated to be up and running by next month. The current location will still be open through the move, allowing for a smooth transition for the comedians and audiences as there will be no break from performances. However, closing the doors of the current club is still a difficult goodbye for Hartmann. “Everytime I close a club, even when I’m opening up a new one, it’s kind of bittersweet,” Hartmann said. “There’s a lot of emotions attached especially with Brea being my first club that I owned, but it’s exciting.”

Kaepernick doesn’t need to sacrifice his career Activism can exist off the field and have a greater impact.
SOPHIA ACEVEDO Opinion Editor
Last month former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was given the opportunity to work with the Seattle Seahawks, yet, when asked if he would continue to kneel during the national anthem, he foolishly declined to comment. Rather than playing the dumbjock stereotype, Kaepernick needs to prove that real jocks can reasonably think through delicate situations. It’s time for Kaepernick to take advantage of opportunities when they are presented to him. Kaepernick can still advocate for issues while keeping his career; all he has to do is think logically about the next step in his activism. Rather than try to tempt fate or act coy, Kaepernick should just accept the position. If not for the sake of his career, then for the sake of building a greater audience for when he continues his activism outside of work. Kaepernick already made huge waves last year by choosing to sit on the bench — and later take a knee — during the national anthem, and while many believe his
DALIA QUIROZ / DAILY TITAN
Colin Kaepernick’s advocacy can coexist with the NFL if he makes effective decisions on and off the field.
actions were ridiculous, his daring stunt is still admirable. Despite the criticism, he brought necessary attention to police brutality, an issue that a “post-racial” society chooses to
ignore, and proved he was adamantly serious in his stance. But he can’t truly believe that repeating the same rebellious act will make a difference. He did something shocking — got it.
But the initial “wow” factor has faded. Now he needs to backup his actions. Rather than letting all that work go to waste, Kaepernick needs to move forward and
start advocating outside of the field. Actively participating in a movement is profoundly more difficult than just starting a conversation because now he has to have statistical analysis, not just overwhelming emotion, to prove his point. Kaepernick has the unique opportunity to bring in advocates and attention to racial tensions in the United States. Being an athlete in the NFL is a rare opportunity. College football athletes only have a 1.6 percent chance of becoming a part of major league football team, according to the NCAA. He can continue the career he worked hard to achieve, while also raising awareness by supporting those who are experienced and know how to explain racial inequalities. Scholars who have studied and written about police brutality, and have years of research and quantitative data to show evidence for their claims are important voices who can help provide a logical argument, not just an emotional one. If he does it right, he doesn’t have to give up one to support the other, nor should he be so boneheaded to try to view his career and his activism as being opposing forces that can’t mutually exist. Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll said on April 24, that he was still open to the possibility of having Kaepernick join the team. If he’s out of a job, Kaepernick can’t advocate as effectively for racial equality, and he won’t be any more than a one-time occurrence that was recorded in the books.
