Million Student March protest in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City, UT – 65 Students gathered outside the Union building on University of Utah campus, Nov. 12, as part of the national Million Student March. Student chanted slogans demanding free tuition, a $15 minimum wage for campus workers, an end to student debt and expressed solidarity with the African American student struggle at the University of Missouri.

Students then marched into the student union building, through a packed cafeteria, eventually leaving the union and ending in President's Circle. Organizers are planning a long-term campaign and follow-up actions to win a tuition freeze.

Similar protests took place on campuses across the U.S.
