California Solidarity

by digby

If you are as revolted by the recent police brutality at California Universities as I am, you might want to show solidarity with the faculty and students by signing on to this petition as a “citizen signer”

This week, we have seen excessive force used against non-violent protesters at UC Berkeley, UCLA, CSU Long Beach, and UC Davis…We demand that the Chancellors of the University of California cease using police violence to repress non-violent political protests…

We call for greater attention to the substantive issues that motivate the protests regarding the privatization of education. With massive cuts in state funding and rising tuition costs…public education is undergoing a severe divestment. Student debt has reached unprecedented levels as bank profits swell.

Signed,
The Board of the Council of UC Faculty Associations
