"Students and Workers Take Protest to Sentinel's Door "Oct. 7, 2005 - Continuing the hard-fought struggle to support local bus drivers on strike, hundreds of students and workers from UC Santa Cruz, as well as many community members, held a brief rally at the base of the UCSC campus before embarking upon a highly visible and chant-filled march to the downtown Metro Center. "Once at the Metro Center, a rally and speak-out was held to discuss the bus drivers' struggle and the great deal of solidarity between various sectors of the community. After many complaints of the Santa Cruz Sentinel's poor coverage of the strike, the community marched over to the Sentinel's offices to greet the origins of their frustration." http://santacruz.indymedia.org/newswire/display/18734/index.php http://santacruz.indymedia.org/newswire/display/18733/index.php  college-ten-reception_9_1...
