In Sacramento, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego students organized protests on Monday, according to the Daily 49er, who covered every protest.
2,500 students showed up on capitol hill, while the other areas did not see a massive amount of protesters (ranging from 30 to 50 people in other areas). Their words were supported and received by many who watched. In Santa Barbara on-going drivers honked while cruising by the determined rally participants to show their support for students and the importance of education and its availability.
"We are a part of history in the making," said Carina Vega, the Student Senate for California Community Colleges Region 6 representative and organizer of the Santa Barbara protest. "What do we need to do now? Vote!"
The protests were organized statewide by the coalition, Students for California's Future.
