Reader Suzanne passed along word last night that there’s going to be a massive statewide rally in California tomorrow against higher ed budget cuts and fee hikes, with students from across the state busing in to Sacramento. Between six and seven thousand are expected to participate.
Accordng to iwillmarch.com, the march will begin at 10 am, with a rally at the State Capitol at noon and lobby visits beginning at 2 pm.
From Clay Shirky’s new blogpost Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable:
That is what real revolutions are like. The old stuff gets broken faster than the new stuff is put in its place. The importance of any given experiment isn’t apparent at the moment it appears; big changes stall, small changes spread. Even the revolutionaries can’t predict what will happen.
There aren’t many writers pithier than Clay.
