<BR>
On March 4th, workers and students in all sectors of public education will<BR>
participate in actions to raise awareness about the immediate and long-term<BR>
effects of state defunding of education, and the trend toward privatization<BR>
at the UC. This historic statewide day of action brings together<BR>
stakeholders who've traditionally competed for education dollars and unites<BR>
us in an effort to once again make education spending a priority for the<BR>
State of California.<BR>
<BR>
The UC San Diego Coalition for Educational Justice is an organization<BR>
comprised of students, workers, staff members, and faculty who have joined in<BR>
a struggle to transform the University of California into a truly democratic<BR>
and transparent institution accessible to ALL Californians. As concerned<BR>
parties, we call on all constituencies at UCSD to stand in solidarity with<BR>
students and workers participating the protest activities state-, nation- and<BR>
world-wide on March 4th.a<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
On March 4th, we call on all to:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
TEACH OUT!<BR>
<BR>
We call on all UCSD faculty and teaching assistants to take their classes<BR>
outside; to take over the public spaces on campus; to model what access and<BR>
public education. Teach out to speak out against the privatization of UCSD.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
WALK OUT!<BR>
<BR>
We call on all students and workers to walk out; to suspend "business as<BR>
usual" and march in the support of:<BR>
<BR>
ˇ Affordability and accessibility to our public university<BR>
<BR>
ˇ Public support for our public university<BR>
<BR>
ˇ Respect and protection for our workers<BR>
<BR>
ˇ The Democratization of our public university<BR>
<BR>
ˇ Open our public university to its public<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
AGENDA:<BR>
<BR>
Teach Out:<BR>
<BR>
ˇ We are asking that classes be held at the regular time and material<BR>
scheduled for that day be taught as usual. However, instead of having class<BR>
within the assigned classroom, we are asking that it be held outdoors,<BR>
publicly, in and around central campus.<BR>
<BR>
ˇ If your classes are too large to be held outside, we then ask that instead<BR>
of the regularly scheduled lecture, you conduct a teach-in instead.<BR>
<BR>
For more information on holding classes outside and for help with scheduling<BR>
a space, please contact José Fusté (jfuste@ucsd.edu).<BR>
<BR>
If you are planning on teaching out, please email us. We want to keep a<BR>
record of who's doing what on that day.<BR>
<BR>
For resources on conducting a teach-in, please visit our resources webpage<BR>

Walk Out:<BR>
<BR>
ˇ We are asking students and workers to walk-out at 11.45 AM and assemble for<BR>
a rally at Gilman Parking Structure.<BR>
<BR>
ˇ At 12.30 PM we will march from Gilman to the Silent Tree outside Giesel<BR>
Library and rally there.<BR>
<BR>
