SACRAMENTO March 16, 2009 - Students and educators from public colleges all over the state converged on Sacramento on March 16th to demand that California fully fund higher education and not raise tuition. An estimated 6,000 students, teachers, administrators, and education workers converged on the State Capitol. They came to demand, “Keep the doors open,” “No budget cuts,” “Bail out colleges, not banks,” “Fund education, not war,” and “Money for schools, not prisons.”
Students from Los Angeles Mission College boarded buses before 3 am to arrive in Sacramento in time to march from Raley Field to the steps of the Capitol. Fully Story: College Students March on State Capitol to Protest Budget Cuts by Sharat G. Lin
