Occupy Movement Moves into a College Campus

Several college students, many from Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, took up the Occupy Redlands cause Saturday night, calling for an end to corporate greed.

About 10 protested in front of Chase Bank on Redlands Boulevard and Orange Street. They also marched through a section of the downtown. Most learned of the event through fliers that were posted throughout the Crafton Hills College campus.

The group, which initially started as a separate group, will join the current Occupy Redlands Movement.

“I feel that the 99 percenters, the people that fuel the country, fuel the factories, we’re not getting out fair share out of it,” said Yossef Saliba, who organized the march. “It seems like the government that we built for ourselves is just being used for the corporations and being used against us.”

“Something needs to be done about it,” he said.
