Staying Power (Statement on Friday evening from the Sac State student protesters)
Posted on April 16, 2011 by sacstatesqe
We have had a fantastic Friday with all the love and support shown to Sac State, thank you everyone! We had students come in from San Jose State, SF State, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis you guys are awesome.

We had a press conference at 4pm with local media, which was

The network used some of our footage (with permission) in this one-minute news brief, which is now posted on its website.
