On Sunday, 27 November there will be a program of music, talks and poetry from 6:30pm, at Lady Mitchell Hall, on the Sidgwick Site at the University of Cambridge, which is presently occupied by the student-group Cambridge Defend Education, in protest of the government white paper on higher education. Events include the “Songs in the Dark” open-mic, a talk by veteran revolutionary Selma James, a reading by Cambridge poet J.H. Prynne, and more. All are invited to attend the event, in solidarity with the occupiers and the cause for which they are fighting. Go here for a timetable of the events going at the occupation all weekend: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=270072139709736
