ORLANDO, Fla.,None — The increasingly familiar chants of occupy protestors moved to the front entrance of the University of Central Florida student union on Tuesday, and organizers said it's the perfect place to try to grow the Occupy Wall Street movement.
"Historically, when students have joined labor movements or civil rights movements, it's just really how we enact social and economic change," said Curtis Hierro of the Student Labor Action Project
WFTV was there when about 40 students joined in while hundreds simply walked by without stopping.
"We are not anti-capitalist, we are anti-greed!" chanted the protestors.
But some students told WFTV they don't buy that argument and view the occupy protestors as attacking capitalism and their own future employers.
"I don't understand the list of demands, like, what do they want to accomplish to stop protesting? What are you going for?" asked UCF junior Todd Foster.
But other students said future employment is why they raise their voices. They said tuition is too high, school loans are too expensive and the job market after graduation is not what they expected from America.
"The wealth in this country is disproportionate. We have the top one percent, the corporations that control American politics," said UCF junior Jordan Allen.
Campus protestors also gathered signatures on a petition in support of the protestors in downtown Orlando, where more than a dozen trespassing arrests have been made.
