(Student) Power to the People!
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
On this episode, six reporters trace how student activism in the Bay Area sparks movements for social change, nationally—and how each generation continues to reshape what’s possible. This episode moves across time and tactics, from the 1968 San Francisco State strike that birthed the nation’s first College of Ethnic Studies to today’s campus fights over free speech and political dissent. You’ll hear stories rooted in Berkeley and beyond: Native students carrying forward the legacy of Alcatraz, STEM students organizing around Palestine, conservative activism on UC Berkeley's historically liberal campus, and more.
