Photos of the November 9th rally in support of public education in Irvine

     In response to proposed tuition increases, protests took place across the UC system. For more information about the current situation, I would recommend UC Santa Cruz's website.  The UCI protest didn't have the spectacular dimensions seen at UCLA or Berkeley.  We stayed on campus, and didn't attempt anything ambitious as an encampment, but we managed to have a fairly successful protest.  We estimate that we probably had about 600 people involved in the event over a span of three hours.  I thought that it might be more interesting if I offered some photos of the event, rather than narrate it.  These photos are roughly in chronological order, moving from the set up of the rally, through the speakers, and onto the march.  I was busy with the bullhorn, so I don't have as many pictures of the march itself.  I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves, but feel free to ask questions in the comments section
