Student Rally: May 1, 2014
May 1, 2014 at 2:10pm
In front of the school cafeteria (Gorton Quad)
On May 1, 2014 at 2:10pm, in front of the school cafeteria (Gorton Quad), Students in Power and various other school clubs from City College, SDSU, and UCSD will be hosting a rally to bring awareness to various issues affecting college students as well as labor workers. One of those issues includes the “Fight for 15,” which is a movement happening across the country in hopes of getting multi-billion dollar corporations to raise their minimum wage to $15 an hour. Another issue deals specifically with rising costs of college tuition and books. It’s time for us to stand together and collectively bring awareness to some of these issues confronting thousands of college students and people all across America. Our government is not going to do it for you, so get up off your chair and save this date for a chance to make change happen and be a part of something positive!

Journalist/filmmaker Angela Sun spent eight years on a personal journal to uncover this mysterious phenomenon. Q & A with the filmmaker will follow the 57-minute documentary.
