Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Trujillo was a part of the protests against Coors, which resulted in strikes that dealt significant financial damage to the company. Trujillo took part in numerous volunteer organizations, and while in Boulder, Colorado, was a part of the UMAS organization on campus that took action against discrimination and attempted to preserve chicano culture. After moving to Pueblo, Colorado, he became involved as a staff member at the local newspaper of "La Cucaracha", an organization similarly devoted to representing minorities and helping the community as a whole. Trujillo was massively impactful in the Colorado chicano movement, and his contributions towards creating both equal working conditions and a well informed community, can not be ignored. In 1978, he moved to Pueblo,Colorado which is where he remains today.
