Anarchists in the US have been slow to respond to the economic crisis, missing many of the opportunities it has offered. One of the exceptions is the recent participation of anarchists in the student movement protesting budget cuts and austerity measures.

NYU followed suit in February, and the following fall students in California began occupying schools up and down the coast.
