Good Sunday All-
Listen to this interview that Ralph Nader did with student loan justice warrior Tony Fiorentino last night. Tony is the key person to make our bill last session with Senator Dick Durbin happen. This is a very strong, hard hitting interview that got right to the heart of the problem. Please give it a listen and a share.
** Critical Hearing on Tuesday:
Speaking of Senator Durbin: He is now the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and is holding a hearing on student loans on Tuesday. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
Will you please retweet these as soon as possible?:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
Sen. Thom Tillis (North Carolina)
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee)
We have to put these Senators on the spot.
Do more than this. Call out state newspapers and other news organizations in the comments. Call out the governors of these states. Be creative. Anything you might think of to make these more impactful on these senators is worth doing...
Please remember: Bankruptcy has to happen first, in order for meaningful student loan cancellation to happen at all! We have learned that lesson the hard way over 16 years. If we don't get bankruptcy back, we'll get a FAKE loan cancellation plan. When we get bankruptcy back, they will HAVE to do MEANINGFUL loan cancellation!
I explain all of this in this short (8 minute) livestream.
This one is so important. Please make it happen. Sink or swim-
-Alan
