BERKELEY STUDENTS WALKOUT ON APRIL 20 TO PROTEST THE
STATE'S EDUCATION POLICIES
WHEN: April 20, 2005, 11:30 AM

WHERE: People's Park (Berkeley)

WHO: UC Berkeley Students, faculty and community members

WHAT: UC Berkeley Students Participate in statewide walkout:

At UC Berkeley students will be meeting at 11:30 AM for a rally at
People's Park. They will then march to the UCB campus and set up
a Freedom School at Sproul Plaza. This is part of a state wide actions
by students from many campuses all over California.
Students across the state and tiers of education plan
to demonstrate their outrage at the Governor's
continued attacks on education at a planned walk-out
and supporting rallies on Wednesday, April 20, a
statewide day of action for education.

The protest will happen simultaneously in over a dozen
campuses, including Long Beach State, City College of San
Francisco, University of California Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley and
others.

"Most of us students at City are working class and
low-income. We are trying to get our education to
improve the situation for our families and our future.
Before the tuition increased, we were barely able to
survive financially, now many of us are forced to work
second jobs or put-off our education just to survive,"
says Bree Gutu one of the student organizers in San
Francisco.
