The students of Skyline college took action to make their voices heard, along with many other college campuses state wide. 

March 4 was organized as a day of statewide marches to oppose the budget cuts taking place amongst many colleges in California. 

Members of the Skyline community participated in a walkout, approved by most faculty, to let their voice be heard. 

"They say cut back, we say fight back," Students chanted.

Students also came together to sing an old civil rights song, "An't gonna let nobody turn me around," a song which gave people hope.

The students united, despite rumored controversy in recent weeks. 

"It was all a misconception, all artificial," said Skyline Student Senator Raymond Kurttila. "We are all working together."

Students marched around the school chanting with one voice.

"No cuts no fees, education should be free," they said.
