Setting up and/or cleaning up tables and chairs for a GIDRA reunion. It would be preferred if you could do both shifts since otherwise, we will have to coordinate more rides there and back at different times. Everyone could go to a cafe or hangout in Little Tokyo for 2 hours between the shifts!

Volunteers will get a free buffet breakfast!

Information about GIDRA:

In 1969, student activists on the UCLA campus also founded GIDRA, a self-published grassroots newspaper, which was later moved off-campus to reach more community people. GIDRA came to be known as "the voice of the Asian American Movement."
