EFF THEM STUDENT LOANS | Ep. 10

Electoral politics aren't the only way out of the student loan debt crisis

For those of us with student loans, we were given a false promise of financial stability when we took them out. We should find ways to organize around this issue, especially considering that student loan debt disproportionately impacts Black borrowers. We carry almost 1/4 of the nation's student loan debt, even though we only represent 13% of the population. My hope is that we organize outside of electoral politics, because that is not the end all be all. We need mutual aid and solidarity.
