[Educationforall] UCSD March 4th Day of Action - WALKOUT andTEACHOUT: Request for participation - March 4 Day of Action at UCSD

[Jim Miller]

Hi Everyone,
I'll be sending out an email to the City DL for AFT (since we endorsed the
Day of Action and the Teach Out) that will list all the activities next week
(including the walkout) and then we'll do a follow up message the week of
March 4th.  Mahler (our president for those of you who don't know :)) will
most likely do an email about the rally to SDCCD and Grossmont-Cuyamaca
Districts about the 3:00 rally/march beginning  in the park as we have
canceled the general union meeting and will be encouraging folks to go to the
rally.  On another note, I've spoken with SDSU CFA folks who will be coming
over to the rally in the Park (could get us a speaker if we need one).  All
best, Jim

We need to send this type of information to all of our faculty here too.
What do you all think is the best method to do so?

Request for participation

March 4 Day of Action at UCSD

 

We need all TAs and Professors who are teaching on Thursday,

March 4 to participate in these actions. 

To: all TAs and Instructors

From: UCSD Coalition for Educational Justice

On March 4th, workers and students in all sectors of public education will
participate in actions to raise awareness about the immediate and long-term
effects of state defunding of education, and the trend toward privatization
at the UC.  This historic statewide day of action brings together
stakeholders who've traditionally competed for education dollars and unites
us in an effort to once again make education spending a priority for the
State of California.

The UC San Diego Coalition for Educational Justice is an organization
comprised of students, workers, staff members, and faculty who have joined in
a struggle to transform the University of California into a truly democratic
and transparent institution accessible to ALL Californians. As concerned
parties, we call on all constituencies at UCSD to stand in solidarity with
students and workers participating the protest activities state-, nation- and
world-wide on March 4th.a 

 

On March 4th, we call on all to:

 

TEACH OUT!

We call on all UCSD faculty and teaching assistants to take their classes
outside; to take over the public spaces on campus; to model what access and
public education. Teach out to speak out against the privatization of UCSD.

 

WALK OUT!

We call on all students and workers to walk out; to suspend "business as
usual" and march in the support of:

· Affordability and accessibility to our public university

· Public support for our public university

· Respect and protection for our workers

· The Democratization of our public university

· Open our public university to its public

 

AGENDA: 

Teach Out:

· We are asking that classes be held at the regular time and material
scheduled for that day be taught as usual. However, instead of having class
within the assigned classroom, we are asking that it be held outdoors,
publicly, in and around central campus.

· If your classes are too large to be held outside, we then ask that instead
of the regularly scheduled lecture, you conduct a teach-in instead.

For more information on holding classes outside and for help with scheduling
a space, please contact José Fusté (jfuste at ucsd.edu).

If you are planning on teaching out, please email us. We want to keep a
record of who's doing what on that day.

For resources on conducting a teach-in, please visit our resources webpage
at:

Walk Out:

· We are asking students and workers to walk-out at 11.45 AM and assemble for
a rally at Gilman Parking Structure.

· At 12.30 PM we will march from Gilman to the Silent Tree outside Giesel
Library and rally there.

For more information on the walk-out and march, please contact Leslie
Quintanilla (dallijq at yahoo.com).

                                                             In solidarity,

                                                             UCSD Coalition
