Hey All-
We've gotten some good news coverage over the past week about our research finding that 19 states owe more than their entire state budgets in student loan debt.
C-SPAN (see the 18:04 mark)
Will you please send this report to news stations in your local area, and tell them to report on it? Here is a growing news company contact list you can use. When everyone takes a little time to push the media to report on this, it will probably solve this problem. This helps tremendously
Contacting the Governors:
Today, will you ALSO send an email to the Governors of the 19 states where the people owe more than the entire state budget in student loan debt? Say Something like this:
Hi-
Is the Governor aware that our state owes more than the entire state budget in student loan debt? See this report:
https://studentloanjustice.org/pr3-3-21/
This is obscene, outrageous, and unacceptable! Most of this debt is owed directly to the federal government. The Governor needs to call on President Biden to cancel these loans by executive order.

Please folks: This is YOUR battle to fight. This is the front line in the fight for student loan justice. We can do this, for the good of the country, and for the good of the tens or millions of people who will follow in our footsteps!
Godspeed!
