"March 4 Day of Action" Listen, speak, march, educate yourself.......

Big round of applause for Jessica's post on Monday! :)

I'm sure many people are feeling the energy on campus. Everyday the story gets bigger and the issue more complex!

Just look at the article that made the home page today on YAHOO!

Mind you, this article presents the opinion of ONE writer for the Associated Press.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK (hilary_wilhelm88@yahoo.com) about this article, the comments left by others who read it, or the fact that it has now been seen by millions as a top story on YAHOO!

Tomorrow at UCSD, there will be an entire day of events revolving around the UC Fee Increase and events regarding the recent issues erupting at our campus.

If you feel confused, want to hear more, show your support, voice your opinion, want something to do in between classes, the day is rich with opportunity.

Events at UCSD on March 4:

• ALL DAY: OPEN UNIVERSITY TEACH-OUT: We are asking professors and TAs to teach their classes/sections outside as a sign of solidarity with the March 4 protesters. If you have class on Thursdays, help us spread the word about this by asking your instructor to participate in this.
• 9:00am-12:00pm: Free breakfast at the Sustainability Resource Center (next to the Price Center Theater)
• 9:30am- Black Student Union Rally in front of the Chancellor’s Complex (3/4 is the deadline for the admin to respond to the BSU’s demands).
• 11:00am – Press Conference (w/ panel of Workers, Staff, Undergrad, Grads, and Faculty). Location: Cross Cultural Center Art Space (2nd Floor, Price Center East).
• 11:30am – Meet up in front of the Gilman Dr. Parking Structure (corner of Villa la Jolla Dr.) and march on over to Library Walk.
• 12:00pm-2:00pm – Rally in front of Geisel Library (Silent Tree) on Library Walk (there will be lots of speakers and performers; more details to follow).
• 2:00pm – Mobilize people to go to the big march downtown to the governor’s office. Buses will be leaving from the front of Student Services center at 2:30pm (we’ve rented 4 student buses). You may also take the #150 buses and go downtown for March to the Governor’s office but be aware that it only passes through Gilman Dr. every hour (see below).

Events in downtown San Diego on March 4:

As part of The March 4th National Call for a Day of Action, The Save Our Schools Coalition of California will be marching from Balboa Park to the Governor’s Office. We are asking all UCSD students, faculty, and staff to join this march. The schedule for that is:

• 2:30pm – 3:30pm – Gather at Park Blvd & Presidents Way (in Balboa Park, adjacent to the World Beat Center).
• 3:30pm – 4:15pm – March to Governors Office (in Front St.). The walk is about 1.2 long (approx 35 mins).
