TWLF 50th Anniversary

Fifty years ago, UC Berkeley students, galvanized by revolutionary struggles in the US and around the world, created a multiracial coalition, the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF). The principles of TWLF - solidarity, self-determination and relevant education - have served as a framework for generations of activism on campus and beyond.  This work challenged the foundations of the university and inspired similar coalitions of solidarity worldwide. TWLF laid the groundwork for ongoing demands for an education able to support the individual and collective power of marginalized communities to determine their lives and shape the direction of history.  To learn more about these events, visit the above linksFor any questions, please email twlf-50@berkeley.edu.
