On November 16th, we headed to Justin Herman Plaza for the
ReFund Education Rally and Protest. We joined
hundreds of students, faculty and staff from University of
California campuses as they protested tuition increases, student
loan debt, and lack of representation by the UC
Regents. The march wound through the Financial District
of San Francisco, eventually stopping in front of Bank of
America. Dozens of protesters occupied the bank’s lobby,
and soon after police showed up in riot gear to arrest the
trespassers. We were broadcasting live as the tense standoff
unfolded. Here is the recording.
