Marching for California’s Future

On March 4 and 5, our SEIU brothers and sisters at the California Faculty Association (CFA) will be joining a unified effort of education supporters from all segments of public education in California. They will hold rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins, and other types of events on every CSU campus and at other locations across the state. Our goal is to raise awareness about the crisis in public education and the need to fully fund our schools, colleges and universities. We invite you to take part in these historic days of action: Thursday, March 4, Los Angeles Regional Rally Assemble at Pershing Square (5th & Hill) in downtown L.A. – 4 pm March to the Governor’s office (300 Spring St.) for 5 pm Rally.

  1. I was fortunate to have joined our brothers and sisters that are marching and spreading the message of NO CUT BACKS and a SOCIALLY FAIR STATE BUDGETS AND TAX SYSTEM by Eliminating the 2/3rd vote for both state budgets and taxes. Here is a link to a video that was made sharing the message the marchers are embodying in their March to Sacramento for ALL Californian’s.
