The bank blockade was an autonomous action from individuals within Occupy Uc Davis. The blockade of the US Bank is part of a history of the student struggle against the privatization of public universities and international austerity. Days like November 18th may become infamous in the public eye, but the blockade of the US Bank was a real battle against the privatization agenda, and its closure is a victory. Every step away from capital in our education is a step toward freedom.
Our struggle is an international struggle, from Cairo to Greece, Oakland to Davis.
This is not enough, this is not the end
In Solidarity

Occupy UC Davis stands in solidarity with the Oakland Commune, condemns police brutality and mass arrests of Oakland occupiers, and is calling for a support rally this Wednesday at noon.
Oakland occupiers intended to create a social center, convergence center, headquarters, free kitchen, and place of housing in an abandoned building. The police response: tear gas, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and mass arrests.
“If the cops are willing to defend property over people, I think that shows where the city’s priorities are,” – Carla Orendorff, Davis Occupier. We cannot allow for the police to impede our reclamation of empty spaces. Come join the UC Davis response on Wednesday at noon, have your voice heard, and stand up against thugs with badges.
There will likely be a bit of mic checking, bit of marching, and also a noise demonstration, so bring something loud.
This event was endorsed by the Occupy UC Davis General Assembly.
