Equity & Inclusion

SACRAMENTO — Californians who do not identify as male or female will have a third gender option on driver’s licenses and birth certificates under a bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed Sunday.

SB179 makes California the first state in the country to offer the third gender marker on birth certificates for nonbinary people who want their personal documents to match their gender identity. Nonbinary is an umbrella term for people who do not consider themselves strictly male or female, but instead fall outside those gender norms.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza discussed the current and future goals of BLM within the current political climate at the UC Berkeley International House on Thursday.

In her talk to a crowd of about 100 people, Garza touched on a range of topics from Black feminism to the hurricanes in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, as well as the current political atmosphere underneath the Trump presidency. Garza also addressed BLM’s goal of reaching across intersectional lines to encompass all minorities.

Campus administrators, staff and students joined together Thursday to reevaluate the role of free speech online and on campus, marking 53 years since UC Berkeley’s 1964 Free Speech Movement took place.
