Students, professors, K-12 teachers, and community members march & rally at CSUN to protest painful budget cuts, as part of California’s Statewide Day of Action for Public Education. Halfway through the event, a massive crowd of students DISAPPEARS from the parade route. Where did they go?

After the rally and march through Northridge to protest the deep budget cuts to public education in California, CSUN students veer off from the K-12 teachers, and start their own wildcat protest in the middle of Reseda Boulevard! A phalanx of cops in riot gear face off against the students, and the atmosphere is electric!

The CSUN 6, as the five students and professor are known, have received much support from fellow students, professors, and community organizations such as Todos Somos Arizona (We Are All Arizona). Supporters could be found sitting in the courtroom and rallying outside the courthouse at the group’s court date Friday Jan. 21. Among the supporters sitting in the courtroom was CSUN professor Rudy Acuña. “I’m here because of the injustice,” Acuña said outside the courtroom. “This is racist. Every person arrested is a person of color.”
