New Yorker Article - Protest Studies "The state is broke and Berkeley...
Here's a good article (from January's New Yorker I think) on this past semester's happening. There are mentions of the General Assembly, Oct 24th Conference, Solidarity Alliance and the occupations along with Ananya Roy's role. Tad Friend chose to write a piece on the budget cuts movement at Cal back in October (and got in contact with the folks he mentions in his article) and this is the piece he has written!
*The article is attached in PDF (thanks Callie) in two parts.
