"As protests break out on the campuses of universities across the country in support of Palestine, local organizers and students come together to make their thoughts known here in local Merced. Similar to many other students across the United States, such as on campuses at UC Berkeley, UC Irvine and Columbia University, UC Merced has set up camp with a clear message to the regents of California. “We’re not quitting until you divest from Israel.” While the encampment has been going on for a while, on May fifteenth, the UC Regents of California came to have a meeting on the campus of UC Merced for the first time ever in the history of the UC Regents."

Overlooking Pink, We’Ced’s 12th issue publication, addresses the many struggles that we face under patriarchy. From external forces belittling our existence and the way present ourselves, to the internal battles we face about how we must be a “certain” way. Although patriarchy has existed for generations, does not mean it should continue to live. Each struggle to break away from the societal norm shows that it is possible to live in a world where we love ourselves, physically and mentally.

Get your free physical copy soon and this will be our first CALENDAR-like publication 🗓️🗓️🗒️

S/O to the courageous, powerful, We’Ced’s 12th year cohort youth who partook in this year’s publication 🙌🏾

We'Ced Christmas Parade

As our mother changes seasons, young people from Merced put together a ceremony honoring Tlakaxipehualitztli, or the Spring Equinox. During this time, we welcome back the sun and all that it brings with him, we acknowledge Xipe Totec, and we see the skin of our mother tonatzin change and our harvests bloom. This is a time of renewal, of reflection in processes that are death and birth. We honored this time by laying down our tlamanallis, one for each direction, welcoming the youth, the warriors, our ancestors, the female and male energies, as well as creator and tonantzin. With intention, joy, and reflection we are guided to transition and continue our journeys.
