Protest the AZ Legislature's Drastic Cuts to Higher Education

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Arizona State Capitol
Press Conference at 11:00 a.m.
Protest from 12:00 -1:30 p.m.
Students are outraged at the Arizona Legislature’s proposed budget cuts to
Arizona Universities and we’re taking a stand!  40% cuts would destroy education in Arizona and be seriously detrimental to the state as a whole.

In order to make any long-term economic improvements, Arizona must prioritize higher education. The public universities pump billions of dollars into the state’s economy each year and create tens of thousands of jobs.

JOIN STUDENTS, FACULTY, PARENTS, and REGENT FROM ACROSS THE STATE as we protest these cuts. Protests will be from Noon-1:30pm at the Arizona State Capitol. 1700 W. Washington Phoenix 85012.

Look for black and white signs that say “40%=Death.”
Show your support by wearing black.
