DESCRIPTION:A new coalition of rank-and-file workers (including service workers, 
 librarians, GSI, technical workers, and clerical workers) and students is 
 calling a campus-wide emergency Town Hall Meeting this Thursday July 9th, 
 from 12 to 1pm, at UC Berkeley in front of California Hall to discuss and 
 organize against the proposed cuts to classes, possible lay offs, tuition 
 hikes, furloughs, etc. We recognize that neither cuts nor tuition hikes 
 have ever saved jobs or quality of education. In fact, the recent history 
 of tuition hikes clearly shows us that each time we accept a new fee 
 increase it paves the way for more in the future. The Regents have 
 consistently raised student tuition year after year in the absence of 
 united student / worker opposition. \n \nThe flyer for Thursdays meeting is 
 available here. Please forward, print and distribute it widely.\n \nOn July 
 15th, the board of UC Regents is meeting in San Francisco. It is critical 
 that students, community members, and workers are present and stand united 
 in opposition not only to the proposed cuts but also to the initiative to 
 grant President  Yudof "emergency powers". The Regents are intentionally 
 pushing through these measures now, when they hope most students are away 
 for summer, in order to avoid opposition. Thursday's meeting will provide a 
 critical space to orchestrate the united resistance of workers, community 
 members, and students.\n \nOne Struggle! One Fight! Students and Workers 
 Unite!\n\n\nStudent Worker Activist Team  (SWAT)\n\n
