DESCRIPTION:The SF '68 State Strike & The Relevance & Lessons For Today\n\nJuly 22 @ 
 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT \nSan Francisco State University Library room 
 121\n\nOn the 57th anniversary of the San Francisco State Strike initiated 
 by the Black Students Union that set up the first ethnic program in the 
 United States, the fascist Trump government has launched a campaign to 
 eliminate these programs and faculty using federal funding. The 4-month 
 strike was supported by the unions on the campus including the AFT, ILWU 
 Local 10 and the San Francisco Labor Council and despite threats to bring 
 in the National Guard, this was struck, and an historic agreement was 
 reached.\n\nThis effort to destroy these programs that were establish is 
 now combined with witch hunt of students, faculty and staff who are 
 challenging the genocide in Gaza. This panel will look at the lessons of 
 the SF State strike and how our struggle today can learn lessons from that 
 fight.\n\nAt the same time there are massive layoffs planned and the 
 privatization of the CSU system, which is increasing the registration and 
 costs for students forcing them into massive debt and homelessness. This 
 event is co-sponsored by the CFA San Francisco State & 
 WorkWeek.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nClarence Thomas, SF State Striker, BSU and ILWU
