In June 2023, the California State Senate unanimously passed Senate Resolution 38, introduced by Senator Maria Elena Durazo, to promote nonviolence education in public schools in California. The UCLA Labor Center is introducing a new Nonviolence curriculum framed around the work of Reverand James Lawson and Dolores Huerta.

The LACCD Dolores Huerta Labor Institute (DHLI) has partnered with the UCLA Labor Center to establish the Nonviolence Project Internship program. LACCD students will have the opportunity to be trained in the Nonviolence curriculum and help share its framework in their campus communities.

Using the Nonviolence curriculum and framework, students will lead on-campus events and activities to raise awareness about the Immigrant Rights Movement and issues impacting the district’s undocumented students.
