“We're camping out here in the middle of the school. Most of us sleep in this large tent we have here,” Orozso told KCBS reporter Margie Shafer.
Senior Maria Vivanco’s parents also immigrated from Mexico.
“Only one percent of this world's population has a college education. It is a privilege to have a higher education,” Vivanco said. “So we as Chicanos, we said, OK, we have a responsibility, so we need to act.”
Students from the school’s nursing program make regular rounds at the camp, checking the protesters’ vital signs.
