A number of student organizers in the US have unveiled what they call an ‘Occupy Student Debt’ campaign, urging borrowers across the country to default on their college loans.
The campaign was made public Monday afternoon in New York’s Zuccotti Park, where the national Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement emerged, the Huffington Post reported.
“Since the first days of the Occupy movement, the agony of student debt has been a constant refrain,” said Andrew Ross, a professor at New York University and an active OWS member, while addressing a crowd in the park
“We’ve heard the harrowing personal testimony about the suffering and humiliation of people who believe their debts will be unplayable in their lifetime,” Ross said.
