Sanders' idea is that free public college could be achieved if one million students took to the streets.
Demonstrators are also demanding cancellation of all student debt as well as a $15 minimum wage for all campus employees.
The UC Santa Cruz protest begins at 1 p.m. at Quarry Plaza and Cal's protest starts at 2 p.m. at Sproul Plaza.
