DESCRIPTION:A new coalition of rank-and-file workers (including service workers, 
 librarians, GSIs, technical workers, and clerical workers) and students is 
 calling a campus-wide emergency Town Hall Meeting this Thursday August 6th, 
 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. \n\nThere will be updates on recent developments 
 both as the Regents solidify their attack and as we mount our resistance. 
 There will also be an open mike for everyone to talk about what's going on 
 and how to organize our fight-back.\n\nWe 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. The same is true of the attacks on 
 workers.\n\nOn July 15th, at the board of UC Regents meeting in San 
 Francisco passed 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. Enough is enough! The time to fight back is now!\n\nThursday's 
 Town Hall will provide a critical space to orchestrate the united 
 resistance of workers, community members, and students. We would like to 
 extend an invitation to workers, students, and community members from 
 across the Bay who want to fight to come and share their experiences and 
 give suggestions for how to unify our struggles.\n\nOne Struggle! One 
 Fight! Students and Workers Unite! \n\n\nStudent Worker Action Team (SWAT)
