I like video games
Our school had in-house dining for decades, first thing our current President did when he was new was shut down the operation and brought in one of three "school-and-prison" food companies because they bid super low. So we had super cheap food for a year and they got a full contact and jacked up the rates and now no one can afford the food on campus anymore.

I think one of the key objections is that it's a major prison profiteer, maybe even started as a prison food company. I imagine they are advocating for a student run solution.
I remember being completely apolitical and going into my freshman service week before classes start and one of the events was a talk where they had us all chant Sodexo Marriott Serves Up Hard Time cuz they used prison labor too. at the time i wasl ike "Whats going on here" but now the only thing im confused about is why an official university event i was sent to go to was protesting the university

theyre "giving up days off" (getting overtime) to drive 5 hours up the coast and gently caress with the protestors

word round town is that there's over a hundred cops from across the region staying at the casino hotel nearby and theyre planning an assault soon

UCI camp are calling themselves the UCIntafada which is pretty cool imo

The UCI admin agreed to start negotiations today. Seems like the sheriffs were ramping up to crack skulls because Orange County is a fascist paradise but the mayor of Irvine is extremely relatively good on this issue and the UCI administration doesn’t want to play hardball now.

good on ya, report back (without doxxing yourself) on how it goes

I'd say that was a successful protest in that it was a good first step for an area that clearly didn't expect to see several hundred people marching with Palestinian flags and signs about apartheid and genocide.

When I got there people were doing speeches in the main commons area of the university, followed by a really good teach-in that one dickhead cryptofascist tried to monopolize by "just asking questions." The speaker was a fuckin pro at genuinely answering his questions while teaching the audience how to do the same, and not falling into any rhetorical traps that would allow anyone to smear the protest with any of their words. Maybe not the cspam approach, but it's what works best for the venue for sure.

After that we marched through campus doing pretty standard protest chants followed by a vigil that I had to skip to get home and feed the kiddo.

Only a handful of cops were ever visible and they kept their distance.

Hopefully the next one is even bigger.

Lol yeah, idk why I threw them in there because they have always advocated for divestment and Rachel Corrie was from the school.

Here are TESC's demands



If I was still chipper enough to get out there and join the protest, I would be the guy calling for sneaking in demand #5 to drop Aramark and harping about the cafeteria food through a megaphone

Well, that's right.

Calling campus occupations "speech" is nonsense. It's intentional disruption, it's force, and that's why it works.

I think our lovely state laws make agreeing to divest from Israel outright illegal.

Even saying out loud you will will send you to jail if you're a state employee.

So you better believe the lovely Zionists who actually run the UNC system will put out so many "hands are tied" statements.

yeah that ain't happening. the new jersey transplants illegally occupying the state government won't allow it
