Student leaders across the country are holding
localized demonstrations specific to their campus as part of a "National
Day of Action" today.
Organized by the Black Liberation Collective (BLC) in partnership with #MillionStudentMarch,
a student movement created to respond to the education crisis in
America, their mission is end campus racism and student debt.
According to Tatyana Atkinson, one of the
national BLC organizers, the joint action is the first of its kind for
BLC, the collective of student leaders committed to assisting student
campus leaders in fighting racism and systematic injustices.
"Million Student March and BLC both wanted to
work together. Initially we were asked to join them in an anti-Trump
action, but we wanted the action to be about more than just anti-Trump,"
the John Carroll University student told NBCBLK.
