“Student Strikes Make History ” by Will Parrish: Written by one of the organizers of the antiwar strike at UC Santa Barbara on February 15, this piece is a fabulous history of the power of student strikes in the past century.
“February 15th’s strike against war at UCSB follows in a long tradition of similar student actions that have made history across the globe. The successes of these strikes have included radical social reforms, overthrown dictators, and even the end of unjust wars…..For over a century, student strikes have proved to be one of the most powerful and effective means by which citizens in any nation can organize at a grassroots level to foment meaningful social change.”
For more reflections on the Santa Barbara strike, check out an essay by protest organizer Darwin Bond-Graham.
