Thousands Protest Rising Tuition at Capitol
Thousands marched on the Capitol Monday in a protest against rising tuition, including many from UC Davis.
Occupiers arrived at UC Davis Sunday night in anticipation of a rally at the capitol on Monday, in which thousands poured into downtown Sacramento.
They are protesting the rising costs of tuition and asking lawmakers to better fund higher education, which has been hit by budget cuts in recent years, resulting in higher tuition.
Protestors chanted things like, "Get up, get down, the student movement is in town," and "Tell me what democracy looks like; this is what democracy looks like."
