- Police Brutality March at Lincoln Park in Long Beach, Feb.9 (Sun) - The march starts at 3pm. CSULB Campus Progressives was on a list of endorsers for the march although this was never concensed upon. The club's name was on a controversial flyer calling police "racist pigs", and club members took issue with this. It was clear that although this is an important & worthwhile event, it may not be appropriate to put our club name on such flyers. Whoever is responsible for putting our name on the list should please take our name off.
