Rally at the CSU Chancellor's Office July 21, 2009

Hello Everyone,

As you already know the nation and our state are in an economic crisis and all of public education has been hit extremely hard. The Governor and state legislative leaders continue to view public higher education as a target and are proposing massive cuts to higher education. As these government officials fail to provide a solution to our funding crisis, thousands of students are being denied access to universities, classes are being dropped, classrooms have become overcrowded, and faculty are being threatened with non-reappointments and layoffs in high numbers. As frustration increases we cannot stand around and lose hope. We must keep our heads up and continue to take action. That's why on Tuesday, July 21st, at the CSU Board of Trustees meeting, the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach will see a massive mobilization of students coming together to rally and protest the current attacks that our higher educational system is undergoing.

Our plan is to hold a

Rally/Protest
On Tuesday July 21st from 10 - 4pm

Our plan is to shame the Board of Trustee members as they enter their office for allowing the current cuts on education and to put pressure on their decision making for the proposed 2009 - 2010 school year fee hike.

There will also be food, entertainment, & guest speakers

The address is: 401 Golden Shore
Long Beach, CA 90802
