docket my movements have spread from a wall street to across the country and
this is something that is actually inspired many college students and now
we're actually seeing is something known as occupy colleges which is big bunch of
college students who are you coming together at and they're showing their
support
for the occupied movement now they also have a very specific goal in mind and
here's talk to us a little bit about that is facilitator and spoke sport
spokeswoman for occupy colleges anti abrams natalia thank you so much for
joining us today
that you cannot for having me sulfur someone ask you a little bit about
occupy colleges what is it about and what are your goals as an organization
or as a group of people
now occupy cart uh... it bento hyper harder to get together
and coordinate date poorer and when they have expected i walk out like we did i
went to a and at that
protest but we're doing that third that four thirty
at the waco q anyone have an where we have yet not all that had the luxury or
ability to be creeping up there with a rather than put that on luxury the
record i went there and call it a ready with the movement and putting the word
on our college campuses now this is a monkey pile austria in my opinion is
extremely clear and they have lab very specific reason for why they're
protesting against corporations not paying their fair share of taxes here
against corporations
uh... basically buying politicians in the media now occupy pollitt colleges is
a little more specific than that so give me an idea of what your uh... goals are
well actually it
what are called i had direct solidarity with occupy while kiwi are just at the
port movement but again collect as student we are that i and i think that
when i mean i think that because we are riddled with not being debt
from our a bizarre minute college loans and lack of opportunity that the
graduation so that the person that the college student
and wrote or how about the ninety nine percent because victor dot
figured everyone but it's really call it did in productive but i get that would
be the more specific methods
it that bearded fiddled with that lack of opportunity isle of that so tell me a
little bit about how many people actually participating in this i know
that on october fifteenth as encourage walkouts
how many schools participated in this and we'll tell me whether or not you
think that it was that success
packed up and i think that that expected a lot better
forty eight hours we've got over a hundred photo-op atwood between five
thousand seven thousand feet and
we've not had over a week toward and i think they have a hundred old again for
mylapore uh... rock
do you think about that
and i do think that were productive but a lock of his appointed not being
directed toward schools
bipolar without that perfected over at that record about being with the ninety
nine percent
all right and tell me a little bit about the nationwide solitaire solidarity
protest that will take place in the and also specify with st
it will take place on
had been a chem wipe out a reproductive tomorrow thursday october thirteenth
at four thirty eastern we picked one pound per article picking up together
and solidarity that people are just unpacked
people believing everything ranging from then do reading the declaration for all
treat
because topping up fired aided in even if you have one in their college that's
enough to help but the work but luckily we have a lot of college is that over a
hundred people already pled independent that's great sense a little bit about
the media coverage of occupied colleges i'd know that in terms of the mainstream
media occupy movements throughout the country have received eva
little are very negative coverage has occupied colleges experienced something
similar
uh... we definitely brad correctly patrick mark from local akkada paper
doubt at them great
people better care doubt that the mother more uh... progress the parked there
they have to have been being negative being dragged on a horrible thing at a
railing paper realistically quoted
exactly but they pick repaying you know it i thought that they got a liberal art
decree had still have a top
then break that are just uh... gerry aiding became the p dot s court report
is that yesterday that you get wet before you got your degree and you had a
lot of opportunities out there pretty early you're willing to do the work that
now at this intricate completely up but that's absolutely it's the college
students follow if they decide in higher education and colleges can't afford to
and keep costs down for students and they have to pay an arm and leg just to
get access to pay for their tuition is too early to college students
participated just
but i mean her but anyway and i also ask you what you think in terms of you know
this political activity do you think that
it's actually going to send a clear message across to you think that these
protests even though they might be covered by some media do you think that
they'll be successful in the long run do you think they will actually change
domestic policy here in the united states
i think that we have a cane we've been waiting for
and that info on that we keep empowered adding people care about that they can
keep the method of non-violent we'll have a huge impact
well aparently all got together at a progressive group with the paper title
