"Day of Action" today!

Students, teachers, and supporters alike gathered together to protest at various schools such as UC Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and other schools around the Bay Area. They voiced frustration over the declining funding for California's Public Education system.

The main concern of the protests is that students' education is currently suffering by the cuts in the budget.

Rallies and protests were also planned in other states with major budget cuts.

Overall, the protests have been peaceful and non-violent, and have been avenues of expression for those angered by the budget cuts. For instance, one student at UC Berkeley expressed, "Today we march! Today we strike! Today we show solidarity with workers! Today the crisis has brought us all together. Public education is a human right we'll fight for to the death!"
