We are now over halfway towards getting the new SLJ Van! If 125 people pitch in $20, that will get us there. Will you help? We have important road trips to Iowa, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and many other places starting this summer, so the sooner we can get this done, the better! https://www.gofundme.com/f/van-needed-for-student-loan-justice A heartfelt “THANKS” to all who have stepped up to this point... Today's action: Interview Request: If you have repaid more than your original student loans, but you still owe more than you borrowed, please contact us if you are willing to be interviewed. Include a couple of paragraphs about how much you borrowed, repaid, still owe, etc, and include anything else you feel is important. Please help us nail it this week- We’ll be as strong as you make us…see last night’s live stream. Alan 3/12/2023 Interview Request, SLJ Van...Good Sunday All-
We are about halfway there towards getting the new SLJ Van! Will you please help to put us over the top? We have important roadtrips to make this summer and fall, and the van is going to be critical for this: https://www.gofundme.com/f/van-needed-for-student-loan-justice If 157 people pitch in $20, that will get us there. Will you help? Today's action:
Sincerely, Alan Hey All-
Will you please help out with this? The SLJ Van died �, and we need a new (used) one for some critical trips coming up this summer, fall, and beyond. We’re already nearly a third of the way there, thanks to 54 awesome supporters…Will you please join them?! https://www.gofundme.com/f/van-needed-for-student-loan-justice See last night’s live stream. Interview Request: We’re working with a very well known news organization, and they’re looking for people who have repaid far more than they borrowed, but who still owe far more than they borrowed. If this is you, please email us, and tell us a bit more if you’re willing to be interviewed. See these slides to get an idea for what they are looking for. Come on folks. This is your battle. We’re fighting it as hard as we can, but we’re only as strong as you make us! Alan 3/10/2023 Good News!Everyone-
I'm glad to report that we've gotten 12 Letters-to-the-editor published in the last week. Today's action:
We are as strong as you make us. We have a huge muscle to flex, but that ONLY means ANYTHING when you help us FLEX IT!! Godspeed- Alan 3/8/2023 Please help get SLJ on the road...Everyone-
I need to report that the “SLJ Van” is toast…it threw a rod last month, and will not be coming back �. We have major plans to travel the country this summer and fall, so we really need to replace this important vehicle. To that end, I’ve started a GoFundMe Campaign. We’ve criss-crossed the country 4+ times, covering around 30,000 miles over our 18 years fighting this battle. This has proven to be invaluable in getting us as far as we've come...now so close to victory. Will you please help us get this fundraiser off to a strong start? We’ll get it done quicker if we start stronger! We’ve come this far…please let's get over the finish line! -Alan Everyone-
We have flex this muscle we have. Our opposition is overwhelming the media with anti-cancellation, anti-borrower hit pieces. See Letters-to-the-Editor from our members over the past week here, here, here, and here.
Anyone can do this. It takes little time (literally a couple of paragraphs). Say whatever you want, but please be to sure to call for the return of standard bankruptcy protections to the loans and/or the cancellation of the loans. Make it strong. Make them feel your pain! Please let us know when your letter publishes, so we can brag about it to the rest of the group, and inspire them to write their own letter. We are it, folks. We are the front line in this battle, your battle. This is what it takes, and if we don't do it, it will not happen. Please do your part. We're all in this together and we need you to join us in this fight. Alan |
