UC Berkeley students and alumni took a stand against UC investment in fossil fuels by staging an all day sit-in Wednesday at the UC Office of Investments in Oakland.

The Open UC, the group that has occupied Wheeler Hall for seven consecutive days to protest tuition hikes, held a general assembly meeting in Wheeler Auditorium on Tuesday evening to discuss plans over Thanksgiving break and the movement’s next steps.

An incoming student-parent at UC Berkeley, Cynthia Leimbach faced 48 days without food stamps, a holdup caused by her move from Orange County.

Rippling in Wednesday’s wind, a bright yellow banner beside California Hall hangs from a tree reading, in bright green capital letters, “Farms are for Farming.”
