> In solidarity with the October 7th Day of Action for Public Education

> 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

> 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

> Action and the borderlands Hacklab, we are demonstrating that the

> 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
