With the support of union and student groups, there will be a day and night Tent City outside of Pauley Pavillion to house our convergence!<br><br>Therfore, the students of UCLA have created the CRISIS FEST: A radical space at Tent City to respond to the crisis with new ideas, experiences, anger and joy.<br><br>We recognize the broader issues shaping the crisis: privatization, and the economic downturn, the resegregation of the university and the ongoing wars abroad.<br><br>But we don't want boring colloquiums or lectures: for one night we run our education as self-education; we protest with fun and festivity! There will be music, food, workshops and communal spirits in store for everyone.<br><br>And we want your help!<br><br>From 5pm until (at least) Midnight, we want to fill UCLA with your music, poetry & spoken word, discussions, dance, visuals, videos, d.i.y. workshops, and literature, in addition to what we've already set up (and the list will only get longer).<br><br>We have discussions of the international student movement, dodgeball & frisbee matches, mass camping on campus (bring your own tent!), screen printing workshops, banner & art making, rock & traditional Mexican music and a General Assembly to discuss the future of the movement.<br><br>DON'T ASK FOR PERMISSION! LET'S TAKE BACK THE UNIVERSITY AND MAKE IT OUR OWN!<br><br>Determine your own participation. Create your own event!
