USAC is once again trying to increase your fees! Vote NO, it CLOSES TOMORROW.
In a saga even more absurd than 2020, they're back with an extra $85/quarter in new fees.
People underestimate how likely it is to pass. I really don't want to write this post, but it's my obligation to try to prevent us and all future students paying ~$300/year in fees which you will likely never benefit from.
Six years ago, they tried to sneak in $45/year in fees, and everyone erupted. Literally, this entire subreddit could be a documentary of then-USAC corruption.
But the thing is, it doesn't matter how unpopular something is. A large majority don't vote or don't even know how to. In 2020, due to anger over the fees, voter turnout came at a "record" 30% -- but the fee-increase failed by only 163 votes out of 8000, or 49%-51%.
Don't abstain from voting, they're already going to reach the 20% threshold. MOST STUDENTS DON'T KNOW THIS IS ON THE BALLOT. Please, TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE.
TL;DR Vote NO on myucla -> Campus Life -> Election (under "Surveys and Notices")
