As part of the March 4th day of action for public education, hundreds of students and supporters rallied at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California. On February 11th, around 40 students, faculty and staff met to discuss how Cabrillo would get involved in the movement to defend public education. There was overwhelming support for the March 4th protest against the budget cuts in the California public education sector.

From kindergarten to graduate school, public education in California is being dismantled under the excuse of the budget deficit and the recession. Each year, our state's government sends more people to prison and fewer to college. These backward priorities will only intensify the economic crisis and the difficulties we are all facing.
