SFSU Students Rally to "Save the CSU"

Wednesday, May 12, 2004, San Francisco State University students walked out on late morning classes to demonstrate outrage at state-wide spending cuts in education.

Demonstrators flooded out of classrooms, offices, and academic buildings across the campus shouting slogans, banging drums, and cheering to encourage others to join the procession. Masses of students circulated the campus, gathering participants for a rally which took place in a campus commons, shouting through a megaphone and sharing a pedastal with a bronze sculpture.

Following, students marched into nearby 19th Ave. (California Highway 101) waving signs which demanded "Wake Up!" and "Don't Terminate Our Education!".

Thousands of students participated in the walkout, rally and march, which was organized by SFSU group Students Against War.
