GET ON THE BUS!

The GPSC has chartered buses from Tucson to Phoenix so you can put your energy into the protest and not parking! There is plenty of space left!

From the GPSC:

There are still approximately 700 spots. There are still TONS of spots and space, and we need people right now. Especially grad students! The more the merrier. It is extremely urgent that folks sign up now. They can do that in the ASUA office, by emailing asa@email.arizona.edu, or, at this point, showing up on Tuesday morning in the Grand Ballroom in the student union between 7:30 and 8:45 to get on a bus and check in. (Earlier is better if students want to go in a group, but as bus space is ample, it shouldn't be a problem.)

To all,

The GPSC gpsc@email.arizona.edu has only received 16 graduate and professional student RSVPs, though we are aware that many more than that plan to go. These records are essential for estimating how much food and/or water is needed and urgently request that if you are riding a bus to the protest to please send us your information by 5p today.

WHEN: Wednesday, January 28 between noon and 2 pm. (Buses leave Tucson no later than 9am.) LUNCH will also be provided.

WHERE: Arizona State Capitol, 1700 W. Washington St., Phoenix

AZTRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS:

MEET IN THE STUDENT UNION BETWEEN 7-8:30 AM for sign-in and registration. Breakfast will be available. Twenty-five buses have been chartered for this demonstration, and about 1500 seats are available for those interested in coming. These buses will leave Old Main NO LATER THAN 9 AM.

HOW TO JOIN:

Email the GPSC gpsc@email.arizona.edu with ALL of the following information no later than Tuesday at 5pm:
1) Your Name
2) Your cell phone # if you have one (this is for text message reminders ONLY)
3) Your e-mail address

It is important that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure to allow for everyone to be seated. We look forward to your participation and let us show the Arizona State Legislature that we do not support the proposed budget cuts to higher education!
Thanks,
Stephen W. Bieda, IIIGraduate & Professional Student Body President
