STATE-LEVEL
TURNING BACK PROP 13: Activists are currently gathering
signatures to put the “The California Democracy Act” on the ballot in
California. It would require a simple majority to pass taxes in the
state legislature, rather than the 2/3 currently necessary. This would
make it easier for the state legislature to restore funding to public
education. Contact: http://www.californiademocracyact.com
GAS AND OIL TAX: This proposed CA state legislation, AB 656,
would put a tax on oil and gas drilling that would go into a fund for
education.
Attend the UC Lobby Day on March 1st: SUA (Student Union
Association) is organizing buses for students to ride to Sacramento
to tell their legislators to protect public education in California.
Make your voice heard! UC students, faculty, and workers are
organizing across campuses and joining with K-12 schools,
Community Colleges, and Cal State Universities to fight the
privatization of public education.
• Contact your elected officials
• Write letters to local newspapers
• Tell your parents and everyone you know!
• Become a student activist!
