Occupy Colleges — a movement that stemmed from Occupy Wall Street — is calling for a national campus walkout Wednesday at 12 p.m. to protest rising college debt and a lack of jobs for graduates.

“Do not go to school. Go fight for yours and everybody elses rights at Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Los Angeles or your nearest Occupation. The time is now to join our fellow %99!” stated Occupy College on its Facebook page.

Occupy Berkeley is one of the many groups joining the Occupy Wall Street network. According to the website of Occupy Together — an unofficial hub for all of the events springing up across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street — there are more than 130 cities forming protests in the United States alone.

2. My daughter plans to walk out at U of I.

The students are supposed to congregate and have a small rally. I am sending hot chocolate and brownies.

3. I am a 1970 grad of U of I (Illinois)

we walked out to protest the war in the spring of 1970. We ended up shutting down the entire campus for a week but also ended up with national guard troops enforcing martial law and several hundred arrests. I was clubbed by a state trooper and held by the police without access to a phone or attorney for 12 hours. I hope it doesn't get that ugly for your daughter.
