The above map, an ongoing project charting all of the events in tomorrow’s March 4 Day of Action, currently includes well over a hundred actions in some thirty-two states, with more being added all the time.
If you click on any “pin” on the map, you’ll be taken to a short description of the action, along with links to further details and contact information for the folks involved.
For new readers, the March 4 Day of Action to Defend Education is a grass-roots event in which students, faculty, and others are coming together around the country to speak and act. The Day of Action was originally conceived in California as a response to the current crisis in higher education in that state, but it has since grown to encompass students and others at educational institutions at all levels in all parts of the country — from Berkeley and San Diego to Portland, Maine and Montgomery, Alabama.
Please see this post for updated information going forward.

Picked up this flyer at my CC (Palomar College)
I couldnt find any info on the sites of any of the student groups. It will most likely be minuscule and unorganized so ill probably end up going down to UCSD. I hate to abandon my home-base but its not big on revolutionary fervor.
also the CSUSM (Cal Stare University San Marcos) is doing some stuff –

Thanks,

I’ll get to these as I can, but as you say it’s a long list. If you’d like to add some of them yourself, I can look into giving you authorization for that — email me at the address on this site’s “About” page.

I’ve added a pin to the map. If you have links to a website, blog, or FB page, let me know and I’ll add those too.

Got it. And I’ve added this morning’s occupation as the map’s first “action in progress” pin.

Still working on the California events, and I’d welcome help. But since there are so many sites with so much detail on what’s going on there, I’m not making it my priority just yet.
March 3, 2010 at 10:49 am
Angus Johnston
Thanks. Details and/or links would be much appreciated.
March 3, 2010 at 10:51 am
Angus Johnston
Thanks. If you have a link or details, pass ’em on.
March 3, 2010 at 10:52 am
Angus Johnston
Sure. Go ahead. Just make sure you link back here too.
