Happy New Year All-
We're starting out 2022 by hitting key governors in critical states this week. We now have a massive muscle to flex. Will you help us flex it by retweeting these, and calling out newspapers in these states?
We want these loans cleared. This year. This is our shot. When everyone on this petition steps up and does their part, we will get there. Please help us get this new year started off strong. We Got This! Alan ps. Join your state chapter

12/30/2021 Very Important All-
We just published this article moments ago. This is key to actually getting student loan cancellation. We wrote the strongest article in our history last week. This one is the most important. Please read them, give many "claps" to both. Above all, please share them as widely as you can. Sincerely, Alan 12/28/2021 Big, Final Push for 2021 Hey All-
Our opposition is getting desperate. They are going full-out against us as of a week-or-so ago. We need to step up and fight. To that end: Will you please call both of your Senators today, and tell them in the strongest language possible to join Josh Hawley and John Cornyn, and cosponsor S.2598? Please also retweet this, this, and this. The more politicos, influencers, writers, etc. that you can retweet these to, the better...particularly conservatives. Fundraising Request: We still need to raise $680 this week.Please make this fundraising a bit easier on us? http://www.studentloanjustice.org/donate.html Will you please help? If 34 people donate $20, that will get us there. We cannot do this without your nominal financial support. In The News: We're featured at Buzzfeed this week. Also, we are the 5th largest petition of 2021. We're kicking ass :-), but we really should be the first largest. In fact, we should be the largest petition ever. No joke. When you spread the word about it, that will happen. Ok Folks, I'll have a year-end wrap-up in the coming days. Best Regards, Alan 12/27/2021 Holiday Action!Happy Holidays All!
Today's action is quick: Retweet this to VP Harris and President Biden, and quote-tweet this to a couple of national news organizations and reporters. Also: give your senators a call, and tell them to cosponsor S.2598. Episode I of the film series is being screened at the Angaelica film festival this week. Please check it out if you haven't seen it yet. Very strong. Please also give many claps and share the 4 articles we've written in the past 10 days. The most recent is a guest piece from Lisa Ansell, who is responding to attacks made against USC as a result of their screening our film. These things all really help. Things are accelerating. This problem is coming to a head. We need your actions more than ever. With over a million people on the petition (we are the 5th largest in the US this year), we have a huge muscle to flex, but that ONLY matters when YOU HELP TO FLEX IT! Best Regards, Alan ps. Please donate. We're needing to raise $740 by the end of the week. Please help! 12/23/2021 Interview RequestHappy Holidays Everyone! Lot's going on right now. See last night's live stream for the update. Three items for you today: Interview Request: If you are a high school counselor or college financial aid counselor, and you feel bad for steering kids into student loan debt, please let us know if you are willing to be interviewed. Important Article: Please give many "claps" to this article that we just published. It is the strongest piece we've ever written. Also send it to a few reporters and news organization. This is an answer to our opposition that is growing quickly right now. Lot's of unreported news in there that any honest higher education reporter should be interested in breaking. Donation Request: Still needing to raise $40 this week. Please help if you can. Our opposition is REALLY stepping up their game right now. This began a couple of weeks ago and is getting very serious. We're seeing DAILY pieces come out that disparage and mischaracterize the borrowers, downplay or even dispute that there is a student loan crisis, and otherwise are aimed at killing both bankruptcy and student loan cancellation. Put on your boots, because it is going to get very thick going forward, and we ABSOLUTELY need you to fight. Sincerely, Alan ps. Please sign up for this talk we are giving at USC in January. pps. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to be interviewed for this piece in the Tampa Times. 12/20/2021 Monday Action Request.Happy Holidays Everyone- We now have 1,070,000 people on the petition. That is an army. The student loan people are blowing up our phones. Let's return the favor: Please make your two phone calls. This is important, even/especially if you've already called. Let's Rock Them. -Alan ps. See last night's livestream 12/15/2021 Senate Blitz, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk... Happy Wednesday-
Did you make your two phone calls yet this week? Please don't let us down. These are your loans, your problem...we need you. MAKE YOUR TWO PHONE CALLS! We also have an interview request: If you live in the Chicagoland area, and want to be interviewed, please let us know- Finally, please give this article we just wrote about Steve Bannon many "claps", and retweet this to him, and also this to Elon Musk. The first has been ominously silent on the student loan issue, and the second has been loud, yet uninformed! This week is the most important in our history, folks. Please make it count. We need you, and as unlikely as it may seem, the country needs you! We Got This. Alan ps. Will you please donate something at this time? We need to raise $360 this week. 12/7/2021 CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY! Everyone-
Today we are blitzing the Senate, and telling them to cosponsor S.2598. Call both of your Senators Washington DC offices. Try to get through to a human. If they are republican, tell them to join Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Josh Hawley in cosponsoring this bill.
