Hello community members!!
The Multicultural Community Center needs your help! From the first demands made during the 1999 twLF hunger strike for a permanent multicultural center to our move into Heller Lounge, to developments in staff and programming in the past couple of years, the Multicultural Community Center (MCC) has always been a space of student activism and community struggle.
However, our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), a legal agreement between the constituents/stakeholders of MCC and the University to ensure that the MCC remains a presence on Berkeley's campus, is expiring this semester. This means that despite all these histories of struggle, we are still not guaranteed a space or any funding past this semester.
The MCC staff and others are continuing the fight and are in the process of renegotiating a new MOU to make sure that we stay on campus for the next 10 years during lower sproul re-development. As our family of community members and student organizations continues to flourish, we also need to advocate for our space and capacity to grow. As part of that family, please fill out this survey:

your honest answers will contribute to our new MOU by providing constructive feedback for us to incorporate into the negotiations process. To find more about the history of MCC or how to collaborate with us on your events, please visit the MCC website at mcc.berkeley.edu and watch the trailer above.
Much love community!!
