Screams and laughs could be heard up and down Spring Street as the zombies chased the march past their intended destination on 3rd Street.

Organizers had to call for the demonstrators and zombies to return to the governor’s office where teachers and students took a moment to speak about the importance of voting for Prop. 30 and taking a stand for public education funding.

Cars honked in support of the demonstration that ran until later in the afternoon.

Members of the American Federation of Teachers spoke after the march, as well as student presidents from different colleges.

Student faints in North Gym Campus police and paramedics responded to the North Gym when an unidentified female student passed out around 1:30 p.m. on Monday, according to officials.

Witnesses declined to elaborate on the matter.

The event was organized by members from Region VII of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC), which represents 14 community college campuses in the Los Angeles area.
