IN DEFENSE OF EDUCATION
The United Professors of Marin join faculty, students and staff at all California Community Colleges, at the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC)
to defend excellence in and access to higher education across California and on our campus
 "... I think if I was a coal miner, I'd
want a union representing me to make sure that I was safe and you would not
have some of the tragedies that we've been seeing in the coal industry. If I
was a teacher, I'd want a union to make sure that the teachers' perspective
was represented as we think about shaping an education system for our
future."
-President
Barack Obama -
