Hundreds Protest at CSULB
Hundreds of students at California State University, Long Beach took part in the "National Day of Action to Defend Education" this afternoon, protesting the billions of dollars the governor and Legislature could cut from public schools.
Students began marching at noon today from the south side of campus to Brotman Hall, the administration building.
The march ended with students rallying together, holding up signs and chanting things like,"They say cutbacks, we say fight back."
A group called Students for Quality Education organized today's protest. Many students say this is just the beginning.
CSULB student government president Christopher Chavez said, in addition to organizing more events on campus to encourage students to make their voice heard, the student government plans to go to Sacramento to lobby for the protection of higher education.
