We need to send this type of information to all of our faculty

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
http://ucsdcoalitionforeducationaljustice.wordpress.com/
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,
