Report on Nov. 18-20
The November 18-20 actions in defense of public education have captured the attention of the whole country. The turnout at all campuses was very significant and the energy was very high, testifying to the deep anger against the cuts: 2,000+ at UC Berkeley, 2000 at UCLA, 500+ at UCSC, 200+ at UC Davis, hundreds at CCSF, hundreds at SFSU, 100+ at Fresno State, etc. Recent mobilizations have also taken place at UCI, Stan State, Napa Valley College, and many other schools throughout the state.
Here below are some of the best, most detailed, most graphic videos, photos, and articles available online so far concerning the Nov. 20 (and earlier) actions. (Many other schools also held actions; please post your reports/links!). Let’s use this growing momentum to deepen and broaden local actions and build up to the statewide strike and day of action on March 4!
