Friday • March 4th

Call to action: Join the first-ever community college RAMEN-IN!

Join students and educators to deliver a message to the governor: Fees hurt students and damage the state's economic recovery. Across California, students will deliver thousands of packages of ramen noodles to the governor’s offices to show the impact of the proposed $300 community college fee increase ($10 per unit for 30 units, a normal academic year's load). This increase, which amounts to a tax, will come from students' budgets for food and other necessities and could cause hundreds of thousands of students to lose access to a community college education. Students should not have to shoulder the burden of California's budget crisis when there are so many wealthy people and corporations in this state who are not paying their fair share.

What: Ramen-in
Where: Steps of the State Building, Governor Brown's SF Office, 350 McAllister St. (between Polk and Larkin)
When: Friday, March 4^th, 1:30 pm

Monday • March 14th
