Students Take Back Chicago

We are going to take action on October 10th because we're fed up.

We're fed up with tuition that keeps rising
We're fed up with loans that keep adding up
We're fed up with the lack of good jobs available
We're fed up with having our voices not heard

We're fed up and now we're ready. We're ready to stand up for our education
We're ready to stand up against greedy banks
We're ready to stand up for good jobs for graduates
We're ready to stand up for having a say in our futures

It's time to stand up, be heard, and take back our future!
