State-Wide College Walk Out & Protest 3-18-2011

In light of the recent proposal by Pennsylvania's new governor, Tom Corbett (a promulgation of enormous budget cuts, including a 52% reduction in funding to public universities), students, and likely the faculty at universities across the state of Pennsylvania, will walk out in protest tomorrow, Friday, the 8th of March, 2011, at 11:30 AM, in response to the governor's extreme austerity agenda.

I will join friends and fellow students at California University of Pennsylvania in solidarity to send a message to Governor Corbett and the Republican Party: austerity is not the answer to budget deficits. Rescind the proposal, and end the subsidization of giant corporations that do little to grow our economy. 

Let's hope a strong turnout establishes itself across the state of Pennsylvania tomorrow. As for Cal U students and like-minded individuals in and around California, PA, I hope to see you all there!
