DESCRIPTION:The Irvine 11 are students from UC Irvine who spoke out against Israeli 
 Ambassador Michael Oren for Israel's massacre of over 1,300 Palestinians in 
 Gaza during "Operation Cast Lead." For this exercise of their free speech, 
 they have faced academic suspension and probation, and misdemeanor criminal 
 charges. Summer Hararah, Civil Rights Organizer with the Asian Law Caucus, 
 will explain what their case means for student activism, and why we must 
 defend them.\n\nEric-Michael Wilson is a UC Berkeley student and activist 
 against the budget cuts and fee hikes. He attended a protest in November 
 outside the office of the UC Regents, where the Regents were considering 
 whether to raise tuition for the 6th time in 4 years. At this protest, a 
 UCSF police officer drew his gun on the protesters. Eric-Michael -- despite 
 clear video evidence to the contrary -- is accused of assaulting a police 
 officer, when in fact he was only exercising his right to protest to fight 
 for the rights of everyone to get an education. He will talk about his case 
 and the fight against the budget cuts.\n\nCosponsored by the International 
 Socialist Organization, United National Antiwar Committee, Socialist 
 Action, Berkeley SJP, Committee to Defend Lynne Stewart, Mobilization to 
 Free Mumia Abu-Jamal.\n
