Occupy UC Berkeley Calls for Strike November 15

I found all these links reading zunguzungu, which is always great but which has been essentially on fire since Occupy Oakland.

Here is a clear discussion of the context of the Call for a Strike, with stirring images of the Occupation itself.



Here is a powerful, one might even say model letter, to Chancellor Birgeneau, condemning excessive police force in response to peaceful student protest on their campus.

To convey your own outrage at an ever more corporatized UC to respond to intelligent criticism in ever more militarized ways, and to remind the administration and other relevant authorities what Universities are actually for in actually free societies, you might contact:
