I mean, well, I'm looking out my window at protestors on the 580 in Oakland, so I'm not really following here. It's about Ferguson, which may not exactly be in the vein of discussion here, but there are lots of very politically active people where I live. http://abc7news.com/news/group-marches-on-i-580-to-protest-ferguson-decision/409119/
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. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/24/366370724/california-college-students-walk-out-of-class-to-protest-tuition-hikes 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.
