<P>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</P>
<P>Students Call for Walkout</P>
<P>Boston, MA, October 26, 2011—The Occupy Boston Students Working Group has
called for a city-wide walkout, rally, and march on Monday, October 31.
Each campus will organize to walk out of class in time to all convene at
the gazebo in Boston Commons at 1 pm. The rally in the Commons will be
followed by a march to the Occupy Boston site at Dewey Square.</P>
<P>The walkout was called in solidarity with the wider Occupy Boston movement
and specifically to highlight student’s main concerns: Fair and affordable
higher education, student loans, and the corporatization of universities. These
issues are at the forefront of the student’s agenda, since students are not
unaffected by the wider issues highlighted at Occupy Boston, such as inequality,
unemployment, and financial corruption.</P>
<P>To add a unique twist on the event and in celebration of Halloween, the
students have decided to dress as zombie bankers. This is a<BR>playful,
but powerful, visual that will undoubtedly draw attention while also
demonstrating how many participants feel about the United States’s economic
outlook.</P>
<P>###</P>
<P>Occupy Boston is the beginning of an ongoing discussion about reforming Wall
Street and removing special interests from government. Its continuing occupation
of Dewey Square—outside South Station in the heart of Boston’s Financial
District—is just one of more than 120 separate Occupy encampments in cities
across the nation and a symbol for “occupiers” everywhere who support real and
lasting change.</P><BR><BR>
