Hey Everyone-
Today's action:
Please remember that getting student loan cancellation depends on us getting the leverage of bankruptcy returned. Whether you hate republicans, love them, or are indifferent or somewhere in-between, it is absolutely critical that we push them to make actual progress. It is key to everything no matter what your political stripes may be! See last night's livestream about all of this. This is your battle, and we need you in it. What we're doing is working, folks- Alan Ps. We still need 20 people to donate $20 or more this week for past-due expenses. Will you please help? Thanks to Patricia/Richard, Randall, Caitlin, Pharaoh, Lisa, Edward, Jerome, Faith, Scarlet, Diane, Jen, and others for their recent contributions!

Everyone-
On Monday, Presidential candidate Ron Desantis called for the return of bankruptcy protections to student loans. We don't endorse him (or any candidate/party for that matter), but it is extremely significant- and good for us- that this happened. We now have a whole new momentum now and have to build on it.
Let's Roll! -Alan Hey Everyone!
Today's action is very simple:
Note: We don't support DeSantis or any politician for that matter. It's just the fact that a republican presidential candidate said this that is important. Please remember that getting student loan cancellation depends on us getting the leverage of bankruptcy returned, and that depends on a divided Congress. Whatever your political stripes may be, this is a very, very positive development for us, and something to build on. See last night's livestream. This is your battle, and we need you in it. What we're doing is working, folks- Best Regards, Alan ps. Please donate at this time if you can. We're needing 30 people to donate $20 or more this week- 7/30/2023 Sunday Fundraising Plea...Everyone-
I have to make an urgent fundraising request: we’re needing 14 people to donate $20 or more by the end of the weekend. We have an upcoming $300 email expense, and literally have $40 in funds at the moment. Will you please help? A restaurant worker in Boston has put out a challenge for people to do a monthly, recurring donation, which would cut down significantly on our fund-raising if successful. In his words: “...Alan, maybe challenge them to do a recurring monthly contribution like I do and have for many years now. Sure, most people are cash-strapped and struggling, but they could pay something in place of that loan that is going to good use! I lost work during the pandemic, had housing problems, had to move and change jobs and still managed $50 a month. Not that I am so awesome, just as a reference point.” I hope you see the value in this group. See Friday’s livestream. It would be really sad if this group had to cease operations for lack of the relatively minimal funding we need to fight and win this battle- Thanks to everyone who has been stepping up lately. -Alan 7/29/2023 Saturday Action…Hi All-

Will you please join them and keep us in this fight? See last night's 3 minute livestream. Really important! I hope you saw our interviews at Fox News, The Hill, Newsweek, The Guardian, and many other places over the past few weeks. We’ve also done testimony to the Department of Education, met with key Senators, and much more during that time. Pretty important that this group remains in this fight… Interview Request: If you won’t be resuming payments when they turn the loans back on, let us know if you’re willing to be interviewed.
