Over 44 million Americans are saddled by trillions of dollars in student debt — and like so many of America’s problems, it’s caused by political corruption.
Our politicians have been bought off by big banks to protect the student loan industry. And until we fix this rotten system, the student debt crisis will only grow more dire.
That’s where the For the People Act comes in. This law would help end the student debt crisis at the source by shining a light on the secret donations predatory banks make to our lawmakers.
On Thursday, February 4, the RepresentUs Action Brigade will be texting voters in target states to inform them about the For the People Act and connect them to their representatives in Congress, urging them to vote YES when it comes to a floor vote.
Here’s what you need to know:
When: Any time between 12:30pm and 9pm ET on February 4th.
Where: Right from your computer!
Why: To urge key legislators to pass the For the People Act
Never textbanked before? Don’t worry - we're hosting trainings at 12pm ET and 6pm ET to prepare you for your shift.
