DESCRIPTION:\n		October 7th, 2010\nAction organized by people all over the US.\n\n\nIn 
 solidarity with the October 7th Day of Action for Public Education we\ncall 
 for a virtual sit-in of the websites of the Office of the\nPresident of the 
 University of California and the UC Regents.\nThis virtual sit-in will take 
 place for all of October\n7th, from 12:00AM the night before to 11:59PM the 
 night of.\nWe need hosting for this action. Please contact any of us if you 
 can provide hosting for the html files for the action.\n\nRecent actions 
 taken on March 4th by students, faculty, staff and\nallies around the world 
 were joined online by a virtual sit-in. The\nswift and violent response to 
 the virtual sit-in from the UC\nadministration and police against Ricardo 
 Dominguez only reveal the\neffectiveness of the action and must be seen as 
 part of a larger\nstrategy of the criminalization of resistance including 
 the arrest of\nhundreds of faculty, students and staff around the world who 
 are struggling to redefine what the future of education will be. The UC 
 continues to make efforts to expand the 
 prison-military-education-industrial complex in the face of demands, 
 occupations, strikes and blockades by those willing to put their\nbodies, 
 physically and digitally, on the line for a better future for 
 education.\n\nBy organizing this action, in the tradition of ECD as a 
 distributed tactic as performed by the Electrohippies, the Federation of 
 Random Action and the borderlands Hacklab, we are demonstrating that the 
 hydra has a million heads and Yudof, the Regents and their police cannot 
 stop Electronic Civil Disobedience by putting their boot on the neck of one 
 man. A virtual sit-in is a mass action by thousands of people and we will 
 not be stopped.\n\nMore virtual strikes can be expected until:\n\n* The 
 budget cuts across the UC system are turned back\n* Those laid off in the 
 past year are rehired\n* Charges are dropped and investigations ended 
 against all of those arrested for struggling for the future of their 
 education\nJoin the actions in the streets, the campuses and the university 
 buildings if you can. If you want to join the virtual sit-in, go here for a
