Occupy Everything Fight Everywhere Strike March 4!
The call has gone out. On March 4th, students, workers and teachers throughout the nation and across the globe will strike. Pre K-12, adult education, community colleges, and state-funded universities will come together in an international Strike and Day of Action to resist the neoliberal destruction of public education in California and beyond.
We stand beside all who wish to transform public education, and we seek to advance the struggle by generalizing the tactic that has, by far, been the strength of the movement: direct action.
In keeping with the spirit of March 4th, we call upon everyone, everywhere, to occupy everything—from collapsing public universities and closed high schools to millions of foreclosed homes. We call on all concerned students and workers to escalate the fight against privatization where they are, in solidarity with the California statewide actions. We envision a network of occupied campuses in multiple states across the nation.
We call upon all Bay Area students, teachers, and workers to unite on March 4 to march from Berkeley into downtown Oakland. We encourage all those in the Bay Area to organize actions alongside and in support of the occupation movement, so that March 4th becomes a day of blockades, sit-ins, mass marches to the streets and freeways, a day for reclaiming public spaces and institutions. In solidarity with hundreds of occupied schools and workplaces across the globe, we seek to make March 4th an international day of action demonstrating our collective resistance.

NewCLA Exchange
NewCLA Exchange: An Alternative
Tuesday, March 2 – Wednesday, March 3; 12-4pm
UCLA Student Activity Center, Basement
220 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095
Workshops, Discussions, Art & Art Activist Projects
The NewCLA Exchange is a continuation of the workshops and learning tables of a
Festival, but with a twist: your university, re-imagined by your terms. These work-
shops, though formally organized, are an opportunity for students to present them-
selves with difficult and challenging information regarding their situation at the university and better understand themselves as part of the movement.
Whether you are a student, worker, professor, administrator, we are all affected by the cuts to education in the state of California. It is not just our problem, but a problem of the economic crisis that runs deep. The student movement reflects glimpses of a deeper-seated cause.
Beyond Protest: Considering the UC Strike
Tuesday, March 2, 12-2pm
UC Santa Barbara, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, McCune Conference Room, 6th floor
6046 Humanities & Social Sciences Building
Santa Barbara, CA 93106
Brian Holmes and Dmitri Vilensky will be in conversation.
Chto Delat (What is to Be Done?) member Dmitri Vilensky will be in residence in California in February and March 2010 for a period of initial research at UCSD, UCLA and UCSB in partnership with the participant-run Public School in Los Angeles and Occupy Everything. Chto Delat’s main area of focus will be the upcoming March 4th UC strike and its repercussions for the state of California education. Chto Delat was founded in early 2003 in St. Petersburg Russia by a workgroup of artists, critics, philosophers, and writers with the goal of merging political theory, art, and activism.
