Education For All Coalition is calling all brothers and sisters, students, workers, the unemployed, union members, activists, and freedom fighters to protest the budget cuts on March 2nd!!
Students across the state have been organizing for March 2nd National Day of Action against austerity meaures, budget cuts, and privatization of education and social services. Tens of thousands protested on March 4th, 2010 across the country. S…an Diego had 5,000 strong taking it to the streets of Downtown and marching to the State building against governor Schwarzenegger’s budget cuts.
Now Democratic governor Brown is proposing drastic cuts to vital social services and we need to respond- WISCONSIN STYLE. We support teachers and public workers and their hard work. Union workers are not to be blamed for the economic crisis!
Solutions to THEIR budget crisis- TAX THE FILTHY RICH!!! END THE WARS!!!
We will be standing in Solidarity with students and workers in Wisconsin and the Revolutions and Uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East.
FROM CAIRO TO MADISON TO SAN DIEGO, ALL OUT MARCH 2ND!
