Class Canceled WEDNESDAY 11/18

Please check your email for schedule updates. We will not have class this Wednesday in support of the student and faculty strike; however, we will meet on Friday in part to discuss the current issues facing the university as well as the Cramer and Cassell.

On November 18^th and 19^th, the Regents of the UC will be meeting to vote on another round of student fee increases.

What can you do to show the UC Administration and the State of California that we will not tolerate another increase?

• Visit ucstrike.com

Read the strike call, and sign your name! More than 1,000 members of the UC community—undergraduates, graduate students, staff and faculty—have already signed. You can also learn more about the budget cuts and the protests through the “Links” section of that website.

• Come to campus on November 18^th and join the strike!

Go the rally at Sproul Plaza at noon. Not going to classes is not enough, the strike will only be effective if our numbers are visible. There will also be picket lines on the 18^th and 19^th, join them! Check the ucstrike.com website for more information

• Talk to your friends.

There are thousands of undergraduates at Berkeley, and many people haven’t heard about the strike yet. It’s up to us to spread the word however we can. You can join the “UC Student, Worker, Faculty Strike” and the “System-wide Strike” events on Facebook. You can also become a fan of the “ucstrike.com” page, and invite all your friends to do the same! Set your status to say that you support the strike, this is a great way to get other Berkeley students aware of the strike.

• Talk to your classmates in other classes and talk to your instructors!

If a majority of students in a class support the strike, you can petition your instructor to cancel class. Even instructors who support the strike already will appreciate this show of solidarity. If you talk to an instructor, ask them to sign the “Strike Solidarity Pledge” on ucstrike.com
