Berkeley Students Plan Post-Protest Moves

Berkeley Students Plan Post-Protest Moves

According to the Daily Californian, the student newspaper of the University’s Berkeley campus,

Tens of thousands united March 4 in support of public education, but the UC Berkeley community remains divided as to whether to direct efforts toward state legislators or the public at large.

Protests in support of public education grabbed headlines nationwide as more than 10,000 people took to the streets in the Bay Area alone. While many UC Berkeley students remain disconnected from ongoing activism, campus officials and student activists are following diverging paths to secure increased funding for the university.

Student organizers of the March 4 Day of Action have said they will pursue a broader strategy to rectify “a crisis in government priorities” on the state and national levels. According to senior Eric Garcia, a member of the March 4 committee, plans for the movement will be determined this week but collaboration with other interest groups is already under way.
