ALL DEBT, NO JOBS!
Occupy Student Debt working with the Backbone Campaign in Washington, DC
This week we worked with The Backbone Campaign for the Student Debt Jubilee action in Washington, DC.
Protesting student debt usury??? Sallie Mae want YOU to know that their security is watching YOU (even if you are not on their property).
Occupy Student Debt was there today working with the Backbone Campaign for the student debt campaign. A $1trillion ball of student debt (15 ft in diameter) was carried to Sallie Mae and the Dept of Education by all the debt slaves.
Thursday, December 22 - 5:30 PAC/8:30 EST
The Backbone Campaign will be discussing Occupy Student Debt and why higher education should be free! Please call in!

We will hear from longtime free higher education advocate Adolph Reed Jr. (see his two articles Majoring in Debt, and Free Higher Ed!). And we will be joined by Bob Samuels, author of Why All Higher Public Education Should Be Free.
