QUOTES OF THE DAY:

"Walkout, Rally Hailed as Rebirth of UC Activism" (as if it ever died - Front Page story from the Berkeley Daily Planet)

"I've been here since 1972, and I've never seen anything like it." - George Lakoff

"For most of UC, today was THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES, so there was essentially no time to organize. That makes #UCwalkout even more amazing." - @studentactivism

"Faculty, students and unions from the University of California's 10 campuses including its two most prestigious, UCLA and Berkeley, joined forces in what was the biggest student protest for more than a generation... The scale of the protests has come as a shock to state authorities." - The Guardian (UK)
