This weekend at the Student of Color Conference was great! Coming together as a unified voice into a vision of students of color who are empowered through their education to implement solutions for positive change in their communities on and off campus was amazing! I gave alot but I beleive I took more and I am so grateful for that. Coming together mentally as well as physically for a greater change truly makes a difference. We as students have to fight for our future...if we dont...then who will? Ending the Conference with a march to the federal building to protest against budget cuts and tuition increases was a great representation of what we can do.
"About 1,000 students from various UC campuses planned to march from Bruin Plaza at UCLA to the Westwood Federal Building Sunday to protest recent budget cuts and tuition increases.
The protest, organized by students at UCLA for a "Students of Color Conference," was scheduled to begin shortly after 1:00 p.m."
