QARC will be closed starting May 4th till the Fall Semester! Good luck with finals everyone and have a wonderful summer break! ☀️💗 But do not fret we’ll be having RRR week events, so you can visit before the semester is up 🤩 Image description: A pink and green themed graphic reads on the top in lined-paper text “QARC is closed: 05/04/26”, with a small bunny blowing a kiss near it. Below are several graphics, including a lacy paper reading “QARC will be closed starting May 4th till the Faml Semester! Good luck with finals everyone and have a wonderful summer break <3”; a clipped-on photostrip of leaves; and a taped-on lily. Scattered around the flyer are sketches of stars.

The Multicultural Community Center (MCC) is rooted in liberatory, anti-racist political struggle and inherently facilitates student organizing. As a coalition of students, faculty, and community members who want to maintain the legacy of the MCC, we unequivocally condemn the university’s acts of blatant political repression: the removal of all art on MCC walls, the restriction of all events and programming to university-approved “signature events,” and the rescinding of interns’ after-hours access to the space.

They hold hands, raise their hands over their head, and squat down. The frame cuts to them standing up, wearing dresses and formalwear. They spin around to show off their outfits. #qarc #queer #Gala #berkeley #outfittransition
