UCSB Human Rights Board

UCSB Human Rights Board A coalition of socially conscious students, organizations, faculty, and activists.

For more info or to contact us about a funding request please email: hrbcochair@as.ucsb.edu The University of California, Santa Barbara Human Rights Board serves as a forum centered on facilitating and amplifying the interaction of students groups - both within UCSB and our greater community. The Board recognizes their mission of inclusivity by creating a forum that encourages, advocates, and promotes respectful and honest communication regarding the education and awareness of basic human rights principles. This includes, but is not limited to issues of age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, nationality, religion, race, size, sex, and sexuality. The main charge of the board is to promote open education and awareness through events, forums and educational campaigns. The driving force behind this initiative is twofold: That ignorance is the primary root of human rights abuses, and when collaborating together we are capable of making a much stronger impact.

As we continue into 2026, the Human Rights Board wants to remind you all about the ongoing ICE raids affecting our nation; moreover, how to keep oneself safe amidst them. While we have other posts on our profile pertaining to this, a simple repost is less preferable to reframing the information. We are all affected by this, and reading it in a new format makes it more memorable, which is what we need in this time — to not forget about the injustices occurring within our own state, our own cities, our own universities. Once again, know your rights, know when they are being infringed upon, know how to protect yourself and others.

Come join the HRB this upcoming Monday (1/12), for the screening of 2024 Academy Award nominated documentary Sugarcane. This film explores the horrors of the Indian residential school system which served as a tool of state-funded cultural genocide in both the United States and Canada for over 150 years. Indigenous children were placed into residential schools, where they were subsequently separated from their cultures, religions, languages, families and communities to propagate forceful assimilation into an Anglo-Saxon world. Sugarcane focuses on the investigation of unmarked graves found at Saint Joseph’s Indian Residential School in British Columbia, Canada, the survivors of these residential schools, and how the indigenous were impacted by oppression, intergenerational trauma, and colonialism.

Trigger Warning: This movie contains discussions of severe violence including physical, s*xual, and psychological abuse, murder, and racism.
