ASI President gets Involved with Student Protest

ASI President Christopher Chavez was one of the thousands of CSULB students protesting budget cuts in upper campus on Thursday.

"We need students to get really involved," said Chavez, "They're not going to listen to just ASI."

The student and faculty protest started as a rally in upper campus, then turned into a march ending at Brotman Hall. There was no violence, just several signs and chants made by people trying to get their voices heard.

ASI plans to take further action. Chavez said they will be lobbying in Sacramento this April, bringing with them, postcards on which students have written of their personal struggles with the budget cuts.

"Its important for them to know that we're more than just numbers," said Chavez.
