Message from the The Che Cafe Collective
As many of you may already know, we received our formal eviction notice last week. We will not go out without a fight. Please join us on Tuesday, March 24th at the Che Cafe for a rally to support the space. We will be meeting at 5am, and we expect the UCSD administration to come at 6am.
Come help us make some noise. Come help us make our voices heard. Come help us save this space.
There is no education without community.
We love you all.
