If you want blanket coverage of all the download stores for a whole album, this works out rather more expensive than some of its rivals, but in reality most of your listeners will be clustered on relatively few streaming and download services, so if you just push your music to iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Spotify, you'll be most of the way there already.

Welcome everyone to UCLA Global Conversation with Attorney General Rob Bonta: My Heritage and My Journey. My name is Cindy Fan. I'm Vice Provost for the UCLA International Institute. I'm also a professor of geography and a professor of Asian American Studies. As a land grant institution, the International Institute of UCLA acknowledges that the Gabrielino-Tongva peoples as a traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar. A joint initiative of the US Department of State and Department of Education, International Education Week, or IEW is a time to celebrate the benefits and importance of international education and exchange around the world. Allow me to share part of a recent statement with two departments. I quote, many of our most pressing challenges are inherently global in scope and impact, and can only be addressed by nations and individuals working together, from tackling pandemics and a climate crisis to reducing economic disparities and building prosperity to countering threats to democracy and maintaining peace. Resolving these global challenges requires partnership and collaboration across borders, end quote. At UCLA whose mission is the creation, application dissemination and preservation of knowledge for the betterment of the global society, the International Institute and its partners have led the IEW initiatives since 2016. This week, 44 events organized by 52 Campus units, ranging from lectures to cultural performances and exhibits, and from students and career panels to scholarship workshops, offer something to everyone interested in education, research and service using a global perspective. And it's not too late to sign up for these events. The link to the events is in the chat. The global conversation is the week's highlight. And we're delighted to have Attorney General Rob Bonta as our featured speaker today. Before we get started, I'd like to thank Mani Jad, Jamaica Villegas, Peggy McInerny, Kaya Mentesoglu, Kathryn Paul, Oliver Chien, Alex Zhu, and Attorney General team especially Edwin Saucedo, Izzy Gardon, and Jonathan Gayton. I would also like to go over a couple of housekeeping items. To submit questions to Attorney General Bonta. Please use the Q&A function. And as time allows Attorney General Bonta will address as many questions as he can during the Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar and we will share the link after the event. Now, it is my honor to introduce Attorney General Bonta who will be with us for the next 40 minutes or so until around 3:45 Pacific time. On April 23, 2021, Rob Bonta was sworn in as the 34th Attorney General of the State of California, the first person of Filipino descent and a second Asian American to occupy that position. Born in Quezon City, Philippines, Attorney General Bonta immigrated to California with his family as an infant. He is the son of a proud native Filipino mother and a father who taught him the value of public service to this community. Instilling in him the lessons they learned from the United Farmworkers and a civil rights movement, Attorney General Bontas parents lit a fire inside him to fight against injustice. It is why he decided to become a lawyer to help write historic wrongs and fight for people who have been harmed. He worked his way through college and graduated with honors from Yale University and attended Yale Law School. In a state assembly, Attorney General Bonta enacted nation leading reforms to inject more justice and fairness into government and institutions. He has led statewide fights for racial, economic, and environmental justice and worked to further the rights of immigrant families, renters and working Californians. Prior to serving in the assembly Attorney General Bonta worked as a Deputy City Attorney of San Francisco, where he represented the city and county and his employees and fought to protect Californians from exploitation and racial profiling. Please join me in welcoming Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Yes, I was very honored when Governor Newsom selected me to serve as co-chair of the Governor's Council on Holocaust and Genocide Education. The council is working to identify instructional resources to teach students across California about the Holocaust and other acts of genocide, anti-Semitism and bigotry. And I think and the mission of this initiative is to teach students about the lessons of genocide and support students, teachers and families when acts of anti-Semitism or bigotry occur on our school campuses. National surveys have indicated truly a shocking decline in awareness among young people about the Holocaust and other acts of genocide. A recent nationwide survey, for example, found that nearly two thirds of millennials and Genzers did not know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, over half of those surveyed thought the death toll was fewer than 2 million. In California, were offering an antidote to the cynicism, that this is how things are, responding to the hate the best way we know how with action with education. And as we continue to confront the stain of bigotry and anti-Semitism in California and across the country, it's imperative that we come together to develop tools to combat hate across our society, including in education and the Governor's Council will ensure California schools are positioned to protect our communities and recognize the trauma of the past. So, I was very honored to join this endeavor as co-chair.
