Hi Everyone,

CSU and UC contingents, as well as supporters of the CA community college system and student outreach services such as EOP, are gathering forces on Monday, March 15 in front of the State Capitol. Organizers are already expecting over 13,000 people - teachers, students, supporters of public higher ed in Cali - so it looks like it will be one of the biggest demonstrations in the state capitol in decades.  Details below, or check out the web site: http://www.keepthedoorsopen.org/
