1T Day and the Occupy Student Debt Campaign

Images taken on Wednesday April 25, 2012 of Occupy Student Debt protest declaring "1T Day"- the day student loan debt reached 1 trillion dollars. Rally began in Union Square as protesters gathered and prepared to march. The "Billionaires for Debt" enacted a skit "celebrating" the 1 trillion mark in debt for students. Jill Stein for the Green Party (as seen with WE.O.U $1 Trillion sign) came out to show support for the protestors. After music, skits, and speeches, students burned their loan statements and proceeded to march to Wall Street where protestors were allowed to take the steps of the Federal Reserve Museum where the Bill of Rights is currently on display. The last photo is of Andrew Ross, NYC Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis after his final speech acting as a banker showing support of the protest.
