The protest is on the corner of San Pablo Avenue and Cutting Boulevard in Richmond. It’s part of the statewide campaign to pressure lawmakers to act now to extend current revenues to help close the state budget deficit. That campaign next week is coordinated by a broad coalition of educators, parents, students, labor groups and public workers.
