Abolish the UC
At universities across the UC system, students and workers have liberated dining halls by standing in front of the registers and letting people in to eat for free. Liberating a dining hall is a form of mutual aid that takes university resources (in this case, food) and makes them free for everyone regardless of student status or university affiliation. As such, it is simultaneously an act of community care and a blow to the university’s bottom line. It’s also extremely fun and easy to do, and only takes a few people to pull off. This guide will give
you a quick rundown of how to liberate your local dining hall, including the roles you will need and the basic steps.
