Date: Sunday, February 21, 2010
Time: 1:00-3:00pm
Place: Coffee Table Lounge - 1958 Colorado Blvd. Eagle Rock CA, 90041
Hey everyone, So we are having another meeting this coming Sunday, February 21st, 2010 to discuss and prepare for PCC on-campus mobilizations, leading up to March 4th. At our last meeting, the following plan of action was drafted:
1.) The demands established by the Los Angeles County March 4th committee are somewhat broad. While we embrace the spirit and ideology of the demands, we will be amending them to make them more specific to the particular needs of Pasadena City College. These will be presented at the meeting on Feb. 21.
2.) Because March 4th will take place during the second week of PCC's Spring semester, we do not have sufficient time to gradually build up to it (unlike UCs and CalStates who are in the middle of their quarters.) To address this issue, we are employing the following actions:
2.A.) During the week of February 22-26, we will begin a campaign to bring awareness of March 4th to the general student population and what the role of PCC will be. Our strategies include:
2.A.1) By Sunday, February 21, we should already have a flyer ready for distribution by Monday, February 22.
2.A.2) We will compile a list of PCC professors who are friendly to our cause and would allow 1-2 students from our group to address their classes on the first day of instruction. That way, we can capitalize on speaking directly to the maximum number of students, both registered and those trying to add.
2.A.3.) Given that the Spring semester will have an overflow of students who could not get classes in Winter, but also students from Cal States (which reduced their populations due to budget cuts), we would be wise to talk to students out in the hallways trying to add and let them know that they can take action.
2.A.4) On February 25th, 2010 at 1pm, we will be having a major on-campus meeting to introduce new students to the coalition and present our demands are and what actions we will take on March 4th.
2.B) Beginning the week of March 1-March 3rd (the second week of Spring semester), we will have a table out during Club Week. A few of our members will have percussions instruments to gather attention and be ready to speak to any passerby.
2.B.1) Club Week will also be a great opportunity to approach some of the student clubs on campus and get their support to join the movement.
2.B.2) If necessary, we will continue to address classes wherever faculty permit us.
3.) On March 4th, we will have a rally to gather all of our PCC forces from 12pm-1pm. Before 2pm, depending on how many people we have, we will all march together to the Metro Gold Line (Allen Station) and get to Downtown, where we will link up with all manner of students, workers, and faculty from high schools, community colleges, and universities through out Los Angeles!

This plan of action is not necessarily set in stone. If you have a different approach, strategy, or idea, please, come on down to the meeting and give your two cents!
