Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said in an interview with Yahoo’s Katie Couric in June that “If a million young people march on Washington 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.”

Sanders also emphasized a need for a movement led by student activists calling for a plan to end the debt.

The Million Student March was inspired by this comment and left college students all over the country wanting to make a difference in the student debt.

Marchers focused on three economic goals: the right to free education, the elimination of current student debt, and the creation of better-paying jobs on campuses. A large portion of students who marched on Nov. 12 are graduates or students of for-profit colleges, though many of the organizers are people who attended or have graduated from traditional four-year colleges.

The United States, one of the richest countries on the planet, had a total student debt of six-hundred million, according to a U.S. Consumer Protection Bureau figure reported by Reuters. More than 40 million Americans share a total of the $1.2 trillion in student debt, and march organizers say 58 percent of that is held by 25 percent of poor Americans. The average college graduate of 2015 has over $35,000 in debt.

Average students should not have to be penalized by debt in order to improve their lives through education.

The Million Student March should be a revolutionary moment in academic history and could easily impact all future college students across the country. But if action is not taken now by the current generation of college students then everything will falter. Only we have the opportunity to make history and change the course for everyone to come.

Two weeks later, across seas the Conference of Parties 21 (COP21) met in a highly anticipated gathering of all the nations to discuss regulations for climate change. Unfortunately the COP failed to find a solution to the on-going on issue.

According to Bron Taylor, professor of religion and nature, environmental ethics and studies, University of Florida, “Between the 30th of November and 11th of December of 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference will be held in Paris, France… the goal is a legally binding agreement by all the nations of the world to reduce and adapt to anthropogenic (human caused) climate disruption.”

Taylor goes on to say, “Since the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, there is little reason for optimism. Every major meeting that was supposed to produce concrete results has failed.”

As the conference was occurring, members of Brandalism (a revolt group against corporate control of the visual realm) took to covering Paris street’s in subversive artwork that call out the corporate takeover of the Conference.

This is of course leading to the Billion Person march on Dec. 19. One out of seven people in the world will be taking to the streets together as a movement and start a revolutionary carnival against the dysfunctional system that keeps everyone fearful of the next World War or Financial meltdown.

Being primarily linked through the internet the objective of the Billion Person March is to focus on causing a power to shift the global narrative towards a sane sustainable future.
