Members of a youth organization called Strike! displayed three large banners protesting budget cuts at Santa Rosa Junior College on Monday, the first day of the fall semester.“WTF! Where's The Funding?” was emblazoned on the banner attached to the second-floor railing in front of the Frank P. Doyle Library at 11:45 a.m. as hundreds of students walked through and milled in the area.
“I like it,” said Mara McLeester of Santa Rosa, who said she's been working toward a nursing degree for six years and had trouble enrolling in prerequisite classes, such as math and chemistry, because of the cuts.
Strike intends to follow up this activity in the future with other protests and events that further publicise education funding cuts. If you have any questions or comments about Strike, don't be shy! E-mail us!
