Wednesday, January 28th, students, faculty and community will be at the state capitol to protest the proposed cuts to education made by some members of the legislature. Our goal is to be 10,000 strong.
Buses will be gathering at the U of A near the flagpole at Old Main beginning at 8:45 and leaving at 9am to take protesters to Phoenix. The protest is from 12 noon until 1:30pm, so anticipated time of return is around 4pm.

GPSC's procedure for graduate students is to email their seat request to gpsc@email.arizona.edu. Information we need to collect is name, email, and phone number.
People are encouraged to donate at http://www.azprotest.eventbrite.com/. Donation is done through paypal.
For people who are driving themselves, the address is 1700 W Washington St., Phoenix, AZ. There may not be many parking garages nearby, only downtown in the Central Ave / Van Buren St area. That would be about a two mile walk (30-40 minutes). The closest garage is located at NW corner of N 3rd Ave and W Adams St.

Also, if you are going to write a letter to your elected representatives, consider sending copies (through e-mail) to local journalists. Some Sallygradstudent readers have done this and then been interviewed or had part of their stories printed. Every little bit helps:
