Who:GenerationEngage Silicon Valley, Students for Quality Education, California Faculty Association. The bands Hunter, Inverness, and April Chase will be rocking out with speakers Joe Coto and Elena Dorabji!
The Rock for Higher Education, the big concert to spread awareness about our rising tuition, cuts to education funding, and what we can
do about it, is this Thursday 5-9pm. It will be in the Campus Village Quad, and will have plenty of great music and speakers, tons of media,
and lots of coalition organizations tabling. In case of rain, the concert will move into the Campus Village RAC rooms (bottom floor of CVB).
We are currently looking for volunteers, not only for the concert but also to help with flyering on Monday and Wednesday, any time from 8am
to 7pm. We will be passing out flyers at entrances to the dorms so no one can get in or out of the dorms without finding out about our concert. If you're interested in helping out, please email yourvoice_sjsu@yahoo.com.
No one will stand up for us. If we don't stand up for our education, we will continue to suffer these atrocious cuts. Come join us as we
make a statement for all of California to hear.
