Students, workers and faculty at campuses across California have been mobilizing throughout the fall to defend public education and to resist cuts and fee increases being implemented by the University of California Regents. Marches, pickets, rallies and student occupations of university buildings have given birth to a new movement that is directly confronting the privatization of the UC system and the 32% fee increase that will start in the coming semester.

Some of the most exciting organizing has taken place right here in Berkeley and Inkworks is proud to have printed many of the posters that have helped mobilize people into action around these crucial issues for the future of our state.

Below is a gallery of posters, placards, and calls to action that we have printed for this movement over the past few months. The photos featured here are all from the standoff outside of Wheeler Hall on the Berkeley campus that lasted for 12 hours on November 20 when police attempted to evict and arrest 43 students who had occupied the building. The students were demanding the rehiring of laid off AFSCME janitorial staff, fair contracts for some of the immigrant owned businesses on campus, the protection of low income housing opportunities for students and complete amnesty for all those who have been involved in the protests.
