March 1st: March on Sallie Mae and the Department of Education
We the students hold this truth to be most self-evident: that education is a right accorded to all living persons and not a privilege enjoyed by the few. We the students are here today to reclaim this fundamental human right and demand that the state take responsibility for providing for all its residents, regardless of documentation or any other type of status. We expect that these demands be met. However, this is only a beginning. We the youth are in the process of a great awakening. Be certain that once we reach our full level of consciousness (and that day is not far in the future), we expect to take back education into our own hands—free, fair, and accessible to all those who seek it. Furthermore, we will not stop with education. Rather, we are determined to disrupt and radically change the existing social, political, and economic order of this system. We the students hold the power, and you (if not already) will ultimately become aware of this.
