Current SDSU students let the HS students know that they are fighting together with them for the removal of the new policy. HS students raised their voice to show that they want to be part of the SDSU student list and they don't have the sources to attend out of state colleges and or universitites out of their local area. They also raised their voices to say that they shouldn't have to compete with out of state students for a spot that belongs to them for being in the local area.
Candles were handed out to the students and where carried as they marched around the campus while singing "No Nos Moveran", and "De Colores" to further extend the message that they want local-access to SDSU. The march started at the Aztec Center stair and went arround the library, ending at Manchester Hall. The candles where then set on the floor to spell the word FORGOTTEN to represent those who have been denied the opportunity to attend SDSU for the following year.
MEChA students from different schools will be fighting together for the restoration of the local students admission policy. They local-access and they want it NOW!
The event went well in overall and while there were many things that could've been better, the message was there and it was being expressed in different ways. I myself attended and was very happy and pleased to know that HS students are being represented by MEChA and that they will keep on supporting us.
