$1 Trillion Student Loan Debt Day April 25 2012 NYC 1tday Occupy Student Debt Campaign
Filmed April 25, 2012. A national day of action marking the day US student loan debt topped $1 trillion. Students from NYC schools, and universities rallied at Union Square in solidarity then marched to Wall Street. The Occupy Student Debt Campaign calls for all existing debt to be written-off in the spirit of "jubilee", debt currently crippling generations of students and impacting the national economy.
At Cooper Union, a solidarity protest brought attention to the administration's plan to charge tuition for graduate students. Two people were arrested at that demonstration;
one person was arrested simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The protest featured a puppet of Board of Trustees Chairman Mark Epstein pulling the strings of Cooper Union President Bharucha before Bharucha breaks free to sign a pledge upholding the school's mission statement.
The rude mechanical orchestra perform a song parody of "Down by the Riverside".

The Importance Of Reverse Phone Lookup.

The first three digits of the phone number would also help them locate the owner of the phone number. The thing is that if they had just run a phone number lookup, they could have found each other! Before you get any ideas, let me tell you that these sites are perfectly legal and also offer their services free of cost. This happens to many different people all over the world and many of them don't know how they can identify these pranksters. It's extremely… Continue
