Students and faculty from Cal State Fullerton and over 100 different schools, unions and organizations will meet at Los Angeles’ Pershing Square March 4 to march to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office for a rally to protest budget cuts, which continue to affect California’s public education system.

The march is sponsored by the Southern California Public Education Coalition and will include participants from all 23 Cal State University campuses.

The march is just one of many statewide “Mobilization for Education” planned events that will occur on the same day at or around all 23 CSU campuses, according to the California Faculty Association (CFA). Other planned events include sit-ins, rallies and demonstrations.

In addition to the events planned for California on March 4, groups from 17 other states will be holding demonstrations, including New York, Alabama and Michigan."
