Public Education Coalition:
Call for Open University Strike and Solidarity Actions on November 15th
Support Occupy Cal and its fight against police brutality and the privatization of the UC system.
“We must recognize that the very same OPD officers and Sheriffs who attacked us here were sent only a few days later to brutalize people at Berkeley. And, once they are finished at Berkeley, they will return to attack us again. Furthermore, in one of its very first decisions, Occupy Oakland agreed to support all strikes in the Bay Area, including student strikes.”
