Organizationsin 18 States Join the Movement to Fight for Public Education ; For TheFirst Time, Students, Faculty and Workers From All Segments of PublicEducation Will Demonstrate Together

On March 4, California Faculty Association members will join withstudents and education workers from all segments of public education inCalifornia to “Mobilize for Education.” Turns out, California will not be marching alone.
Organizations have planned similar actions in 17 other states,including Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts,Michigan,Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee,Texas and Washington (state). Seethe listings below to learn more about events in California and aroundthe nation.
Rallies, demonstrations, sit-ins and marches are planned for March 4on or near all 23 Cal State University campuses, which have experiencedover $1 billion in funding cuts over the last two years.
Major regional events of all California public education segmentsare shaping up to take place at the State Capitol in Sacramento, theSan Francisco Civic Center, Pershing Square in Los Angeles and the CSUNorthridge campus
Last fall, more than 800 students and faculty members from all overthe state met at UC Berkeley to plan one, unified day of action onwhich the education community would band together to advocate forpublic education at every campus and school.
“Public education is under attack and we've had enough,” saidCalifornia Faculty Association President Lillian Taiz. “The future ofour country and our state are at stake. Our kids need public educationfrom pre-school all the way to Ph.D. The slashing of education fundshas to stop, and the only way to change it is for the entire educationcommunity to stand together.”
From pre-schools to universities, public education in California isbeing decimated. K-12 spending continues to shrink ; Californiais now47th in public spending per pupil. And, the state has slashed highereducation spending.
The California State University has let go some 2000 Lecturers overthe last two years. Student fees tripled since 2002 while thousands ofclass sections have been eliminated. Tens of thousands of eligiblestudents have been turned away or given up because of rising costs andinability to get necessary classes.
In his state budget proposal for 2010/11, Gov. Schwarzeneggerproposed over $300 million each in funding increases for the CSU and UCsystems, but that is not nearly enough to fill the deep hole left bymassive funding cuts over the last two years.
