Assistant to the Coordinator of Student Activities, Daniel Gomez, informed Cabinet about the March in March for Higher Education were thousands of students and educators from UCs, Cal States, and community colleges come together and protest at the State Capitol for a higher educational funding.
This year the march will bring up community colleges issues to let their voice be heard to lawmakers.
Assistant Gomez is recently looking for 25 students to assist to this upcoming event and will provide more details soon.
“There is nothing more empowering to see students and educators come together,” Gomez said.
