Today we walked a relatively short 2.1 miles from the outskirts of Elk Grove into Consumnes River College, within Sacramento city limits. When we reached a sign that indicated the milestone, it was another reminder of just how close we are to the finish line. In under 48 hours, we'll be at the State Capitol.
We had a great rally at the college when we arrived. CFT and AFT came out strong, including classified employees all the way from Los Angeles. The program included speeches from Marty Hittleman and Dean Murakami, as well as from students and core marchers.
