Cal Grants are eliminated. Again. Join our rally this Wednesday!

[Chris Ah San]

Hey Save Cal Grants Peeps!

In case you don't know, Governor Schwarzenegger has eliminated Cal Grants in his proposed budget from January, again (just like last year). Since then, Governor Schwarzenegger has said, "I will stick to my January budget." Unfortunately, this would mean that tens of thousands of students around California would have to drop out of college simply because they cannot afford it. With the recent 32% increase in UC tuition, this spells out a very similar consequence for hundreds of our fellow Bruins at UCLA, and it's time for students to take action to stop this horrible budget.

Join us for our Save Cal Grants Rally in Downtown Los Angeles, a rally being organized in conjunction with other UC schools in Southern California. We will be marching to the Governor's office in Downtown LA this Wednesday, May 12 at 12:30pm from Pershing Square, asking the Governor to change his budget before he releases it again to the State Legislature by the May Revise deadline. We will leave UCLA at 11:45am from Ackerman Turnaround and return to UCLA after the rally by 3:30pm.

In order to sign up for free transportation, please fill out the form at tinyurl.com/SaveCalGrantsRallyLA. It is absolutely crucial that students come out to show their support for higher education so that we can send a message to Governor Schwarzenegger that we will not stand for this budget.

For questions and concerns, please e-mail us at BudgetC...@gmail.com.
