UC Berkeley sophomore Stephanie Gutierrez has been an advocate for marginalized communities since high school, and if elected ASUC president, she hopes to use her own experience in activism to inspire action in the campus community.

This is why the new and final season of “House of Cards” is so imperative. It shows that there are powerful solutions and statements to be made in the wake of sexual assault allegations. With the final season of “House of Cards,” Spacey’s personal scandal had direct consequences on his character and his career.

Several student protesters assembled outside Phi Gamma Delta, or Fiji, fraternity Saturday afternoon to protest sexual assault. But they were interrupted by members of the fraternity, who began posing behind the protesters in what many alleged was a mockery of the rally.

Last week, self-titled “San Francisco Resistance” groups held a weeklong “Resist-A-Thon” to “recruit, train, and mobilize activists and bring a blue wave to the 2018 midterm elections.”
