I witnessed mario savio implementing the free speech movement that was amazing for the whole country. 28th of March no kings march is coming up and ask all the senators to come and march on the 28th and I know you may not be here physically in berkeley you can find a march.

I want to present a quote “This was proposed on monday at 8pm and we are already voting on it on Wednesday.” Imagine my disappointment when this did not pass. Our communication was clear and our collaboration was sincere. Cal students deserve to vote on this this year. We demand a public apology immediately.

We were unable to speak to anything that happened. As a note senator beardsley that we had committed campus violations until the judicial counsel say so. The fact that through a closed senate session that 10 Senators voted no on this bill is unjust. Try giving the students their autonomy ahead of your own agendas.

I want to express our discontent with your decision to vote against us. I find it disheartening as you know that students need these events and you voted no on this.

this decision will cost a whole class of students for students ability to vote on this. For ASUC superb we do not ask for donations. We are here to provide an outlet for students outside exams. My question is for those who voted against superb maybe you should reconsider your relationship with us.

I am angered at the approach the ASUC took with this referendum and I am disgusted by. I know how these budgets work and know how these budgets are working against us now. And many will feel these effects, as these events are for students and by students. Getting talent has been more difficult especially with our financial budget. I want to emphasise it has becoming more expensive. This will not be able to go on any longer.

To the 10 that elected to table for next year, what detrimental implication would happen by making it 8 dollars more? In less than 24 hours we were able to receive signatures by students but lacked the ability to secure the needed signatures. I am disappointed overall that we failed to represent the student body and what they want.

I am especially disappointed that you guys tabled our referendum. This past couple years I seen how essential are events are. At a handful of these events we had to turn down students because the seats are full. This demonstrates the need for student events. Superb has given students free aspects to see events that they would not of from SUBPERB and free of cost. As this has hurt the student body.

I had the honor to be a part of a community of SUBPERB. But as someone who manages SUPERB online presence. I am reconsidering collaborating with ASUC for future events. This is truly disheartening. Your vote last week robbed students to be able to make that decision for themselves. We are now being majorly restricted to deliver events that students deserve.

I wanted to give my experience on this process. I had to drop everything to get students to sign the ability to get it back on the referendum. Which this time could have been used for other things. I hope this situation can allow for reflection thank you for your time.

During my time here at SUBPERB is seeing the resources, and resource we scarce where I come from, and they never saw the need to fund for arts. Coming to berkeley we had been able to get resources that help me pursue my passion. Students want to be apart of SUPBERB but we lack the resources unable to give to them. So I urge you, the student body should have had the chance to vote on this on their own.

I was on your the website of UC Berkeley student berkeley and engagement website and saw under ASUC you guys are a 21 member that represent berkeley students. I want to know how does this reflect anything that is democratic in any type of way. You are not reflecting on our perspective. This is on you for putting the blame on us, as we are unable to give proper programs. I am curious to why you think that is democratic and why you call yourselves senators.
