A March 4th Conference Sets October 7th as International Day of Action and October 16th as Planning Conference at San Francisco State.
A "March 4th Conference" held in Los Angeles on April 23 sets October 7th as "International Day of Action" and October 16th as Planning Conference at San Francisco State. Over 151 people attended the meeting at the Santee Educational Complex in Los Angeles. Integrated by race and gender, the conference participants clearly backed worker/student unity (educators are workers), internationalism, anti-racism, democracy, and direct action while opposing union sell-outs and bureaucrats.

Those attending included students from 11 of the 23 California State University schools, 7 of the 11 University of California schools, 11 community colleges, and a handful of k12 educators, professors, and community activists. There is no question the system of capital and its domination of schooling was under assault. Civil strife on the horizon, well-earned.
