UC Berkeley Students and Staff Protest Budget Cuts (Photo Essay)
October 7, 2010 was a day of protest in the UC system, focusing on budget cuts but extending to a range of other student and labor issues. The main planned event of the day at the UC Berkeley campus was a Sproul Plaza rally.
Following a march through the campus, perhaps 500 protestors occupied the Reading Room at Doe Library for several hours, before leaving the building.
These photos, contributed to the Planet by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous, show the chronological sequence of events during the day.
