November 15 Strike Endorsements

On November 9th, students at UC Berkeley (along with students, teachers, and workers throughout CA public higher education) protested. At Berkeley, students set up a tent encampment, only to be dismantled by police several times. Demonstrators were beaten by police, leading to several injuries and a hospitalization of at least one graduate student. In response, UC Berkeley students called for a higher public education-wide strike, or day of action in solidarity for Tuesday, November 15th.
