[spectre] Help host and join the virtual sit-in in solidarity with october7th actions for education!

[Yann Le Guennec]

ETOY is back ?


;-)


well, jokes appart, it's difficult for me today to believe that we need 
to fight the dead system with the dead arms of the dead system... but on 
another side, it's always pleasant to count yourself...

cheers,
yann

> Education///////////
>
> In solidarity with the October 7th Day of Action for Public Education
> we call for a virtual sit-in of the websites of the Office of the
> President of the University of California and the UC Regents. This
> virtual sit-in will take place for all of October 7th, from 12:00AM
> the night before to 11:59PM the night of.
>
> *We need hosting for this action. Please contact any of us if you can
> provide hosting for the html files for the action.*
>
> Recent actions taken on March 4th by students, faculty, staff and
> allies around the world were joined online by a virtual sit-in. The
> swift and violent response to the virtual sit-in from the UC
> administration and police against Ricardo Dominguez only reveal the
> effectiveness of the action and must be seen as part of a larger
> strategy of the criminalization of resistance including the arrest of
> hundreds of faculty, students and staff around the world who are
> struggling to redefine what the future of education will be. The UC
> continues to make efforts to expand the
> prison-military-university-industrial complex in the face of demands,
> occupations, strikes and blockades by those willing to put their
> bodies, physically and digitally, on the line for a better future for
> education.
>
> By organizing this action, in the tradition of ECD as a distributed
> tactic as performed by the Electrohippies, the Federation of Random
> Action and the borderlands Hacklab, we are demonstrating that the
> hydra has a million heads and Yudof, the Regents and their police
> cannot stop Electronic Civil Disobedience by putting their boot on the
> neck of one man. A virtual sit-in is a mass action by thousands of
> people and we will not be stopped.
>
> More virtual strikes can be expected until:
>
> * The budget cuts across the UC system are turned back
> * Those laid off in the past year are rehired
> * Charges are dropped and investigations ended against all of those
> arrested for struggling for the future of their education
>
> Join the actions in the streets, the campuses and the university
> buildings if you can. If you want to join the virtual sit-in, go here
