## Transcript

College students across the nation are protesting for more affordable education. The movement is called million student march, and protestors have three demands: free tuition for everyone, forgiven student loan debt, and a $ 15 minimum wage for campus workers. It seems extreme, but I mean, it's fair. We shouldn't be in debt for trying to pursue, especially at this point where college is a necessity The group's name and goals are at least partially inspired by a statement made by presidential candidate Bernie Sanders when he was speaking to Yahoo! News' Katie Couric. If a million young people march on Washington and they say to the Republican leadership we know what's going on and you better vote to deal with student debt.

You better vote to make Public universities and colleges tuition free that's when it will happen. For parents, free tuition wasn't the favorite method of making college more affordable. A money poll showed the most popular option for parents was eliminating federal financial aid and making the first two years free for everyone. These protests came just a few days after fast food workers across the country walked up the job for a day to demand a $ 14 minimum wage. Since this is a movement primarily organized over social media, and participants across several cities, it's hard to say if the protests reached their goal of one million students.
