My student debt was canceled this week! I am a member of the Debt Collective. I have been fighting my predatory debt for 13 years. Filed my Borrower Defense in 2015. These government leeches can act like the Debt Collective is some devious entity, but we are real people
RIP Jane McAlevey, the brilliant and indefatigable labor organizer and writer and regular contributor to Jacobin. You can read her contributions to the magazine here: https://t.co/obo3uw0YRg
I don't know what to say about Jane McAlevey passing away. I'm very sad. I loved her so much.
But I know there has to to be an ask.
So here's one. Everyone support Organizing for Power.
We need to ensure her ideas and methods keep being taught.
I am so thankful that I was able to learn from Jane McAlevey @rsgexp during an Organizing for Power series with @StrikeDebt . May she rest in power. Let's keep up the good fight in her honor ❤️
With broken hearts we announce the passing of Jane McAlevey @rsgexp: founder, lead trainer, heart & soul of our global training program. You will be so missed. And may this elegy serve as a commitment: that your legacy serve as the building blocks for our victories to come.
French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is sweeping to a shock victory in the French election has called for the recognition of a “State of Palestine”…
“France must recognize the Palestinian state now…. The balance of power must show that the whole world condemns this genocide”…🇵🇸🇫🇷
Today, @RepRashida and @RepCori joined Debt Collective members and allies outside of the Department of Education calling on the Biden administration to Fund Education Not Genocide. Thank you both for your tireless work to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Hey @FSACOO! We heard you turned down a request from student debtors and @strikedebt, in order to make it to the student loan servicing conference. Ouch -- way to make clear what your priorities are.
That’s real nasty work Sir. Yet you’re meeting with lobbyists today?!
Working Americans rely on student loan servicers like MOHELA to afford paying for college. Yet our constituents spend hours on hold with them — without talking to a real human — just to be denied credit for loan forgiveness.
It’s time to fire MOHELA & cancel ALL student debt.
The horrible images of police brutalizing students protestors shows how deeply our fights are connected. Biden has used his powers to fund a genocide—when he could use them to liberate debtors. Enough.
Join us in D.C. to say Fund Education—Not Genocide‼️ https://t.co/gu8fgCMeAf
This has been a LONG time coming. This is where I went. My debt was already canceled via Borrower Defense but I am SO happy that everyone that went to this scam factory will see relief now!! Organizing works!!!

Organizing works. There are no shortcuts and it is frustrating as hell but it works.
We have a lot of work left to do. We have moved mountains already, and we are just getting started.
In the meantime we are framing this. Or maybe getting tattoos.
Have you ever tried to get help from @MOHELA only to be left on hold for hours or given the runaround?
MOHELA practices something called "call deflection"
Congress wants to ask them about it and MOHELA is basically doing the same thing. Call deflecting Congress & not showing up
Debt Collective members on their way to Washington D.C. to attend the hearing about how @MOHELA is cheating student debtors
Guess who won't be bothering to show up? MOHELA's deadbeat CEO
