Well, again, I have friends who participated in protests and walkouts at Berkeley over tuition increases, which have been obscene over the past ten years or so.

That all said, I know plenty of people who cannot repay college debt and are struggling just surviving, much less getting decent medical care, being able to save, have the ability to negotiate employment, etc. I still think systemic change is absolutely necessary and their is a lack of resounding voices calling for it, but people are trying.
