Cancel now! Stop predatory lending!!!

My wife is 65 years old, had to retire from teaching early because of health issues. She still owes $35,000 on student loans,. Some loans were brought on by being forced to take classes to keep her teaching certificate required by Michigan's Continuing Education Requirements for teachers. I'm 68 and retired as well. We live on a fixed income and making student loan payments really cut's into our standard of living. Now republicans want to do away with the SAVE payment program which would make are payments even higher!

Is it time for a debt strike? We can forgive ourselves of our student debt. I did. Just don't pay, they can't come after us all.

The only thing standing between us as older borrowers and debt relief is political will! CANCEL STUDENT DEBT NOW!

Great job everyone! Thank you for your advocacy Debt Collective!

Thank you for standing up in the gap to defend us. We need the Department of Education to help us cancel our debts.

Thank you so much for having the courage to share your challenges with the student loan system, not blame yourselves or others and stand up for each other! So much passion and determination and love!

✊🏼

Thanks for showing up and speaking truth!!!

Scott Giles and MOHELA need to be fired. Taxpayers are his boss.

Luke's advice about making students creditors, has that even been tested against case law and in court? EDIT: Those present in this video along with many at UARTS don't want to face reality. They never bother to ask the question as to why the university had to take out over $100M in debt. Could the reason be that the policies UARTS instituted starting in 2009 where they began to blatantly discriminate against straight white males both in terms of student body and employment? Do you think the fact that UARTS career services office was impotent in its ability to send students to job opportunities. For instance, the CS office had zero contact information for any of musician unions, acting unions, and made no attempt to reach out to theaters to establish a pipeline for UARTS alumni to, in the least, audition for roles. Do you think their penchant for hiring UARTS alumni, thus not bringing new blood into the university? Are you even remotely aware that the music department's faculty consisted of 40% UARTS alumni at the time of closure? Or how about the exorbitant number of lawsuits filed against UARTS over the decades? Or are you even aware that the female teachers in visual art department conspired where they setup a honeypot to malign and terminate a teacher simply because he was a straight white male? (BTW, he won the court case and was paid handsomely.) Additionally, the women who engaged in this conspiracy, they were so dumb they outlined their plans in email and left it on the server for quite some time. Everyone wants to focus on the money. They want to insinuate that there was some secret cabal that set out to harm so called hard working artists. But they don't want to face the reality that it was their cherished policies of DEI, AA, hiring bigoted women, not have both visual and performing art standards all led to the collapse, or the fact that many of the student body had SAT scores in math and reading in the 200-300 levels.

Amazing upload, thank you so much

Wow, the scarcity mindset running through these comments. As if CEOs don't make millions while everyone else barely gets by? Really, that's the genocide we're all advocating for? Go Debt Collective, show us all the injustices of our times! ❤️

If their term debit relief means taxpayers pay for their bad loans then I'm against it too. You take the loan out, You pay it back.

*I have **_ZERO SYMPATHY_** for these entitled children.* *_Did you borrow the money?!_** Well then **_PAY IT BACK!!_** It’s not OUR fault that you were too stupid about money to make good choices- WE had the same opportunity to borrow, and **_WE paid our loans back!_** So do the rest of the taxpayers a favor and pay your own debts- and **_consider it a big part of your education, then teach this to your kids,_** so the cycle stops with **_YOUR_** generation.* *I’m tired of being careful and responsible financially, then getting screwed financially by people **_who refuse to take responsibility for their own bad decisions!_*

What idiots. The woman you’re harassing is aware of the fact that “debt relief” means either A: A lot of people are not getting their money or B: WE THE PEOPLE are paying for you. That means that men and women who have never been to college will be forced to pay more of their taxes to people who DID go to college and have access to better career paths. THIS ALSO INCLUDES PAYING FOR STUDENTS THAT DROPPED OUT. If we used that money to repair our economy, we could stop the inevitable depression our country is currently entering. But no. You want people who signed a contract to not have to fulfill it instead. All of the issues in this country and this is the shit you’re holding signs over?? Ridiculous.

I'm all for debt relief... these people were forced to take loans, no one said "don't take it if you can't pay it back" oh... wait.... they did. Scratch that... these people can go to hell.

Oh yes, when the left eats its own.

I worked a full day, attended collage at night for a total of 5 years and paid it off as I went. The IDEA that I need to pay for somebody that's afraid to work for what they want is ABSURD!

My wife and two daughter's went to college and had no problems paying it back. The reason was that they went to work after they graduated. My wife taught school, and my daughters work at the same hospital. The oldest works in cardiovascular and the youngest in birthing. Im so proud of them...

THEY are the actual thieves. Entitled punks

Not enough free sex.

Students not paying back their student loans that they agreed to pay is a scam on the hardworking United States American taxpayers! No more freebies! If you agree to pay it, you pay it!

The entitlement of these Mexican privileged morons kills me

Don’t take out a loan you can’t or won’t pay back morons!

Did you sign the dotted line? Then shut up, and pay back the loan.

Morons. Pay your damn loans

Let's all buy houses, boats and cars, that someone else will have to pay for, make's economic sense?

A totally unfair, biased program to buy votes ! If you want this, you have to pay all past students, and refund all students who paid cash, as well.Colleges will now have to be free !

Can’t wait til they have the cash to buy their house, they don’t want to use leeches do they? But wait! Omg they did use they, parents raised them to accept responsibility! LOL, NOT! Poor quality parents and education system contribute to entitlement

So, let me get this straight. These kids took out a loan, which they are required to pay back. They knew this from the beginning. And now they want the tax payers to pay back the "theft" that was incurred on them? Its called INTEREST boys and girls. Your classes didnt teach you that? Probably because they are too busy teaching them completely useless courses like transgenderism or gender identity. Another thing the kids dont seem to realize is the opposite situation. What if they were DENIED the loan. No student loan, no college.

debt relief is people saying i want free money

Only idiots borrowing money and don't want to pay back sing this kak...

Now this is a protest I would participate in 💯 to pay for a education in America and be thousands in debt even struggling from it when the President can give out money like it's nothing when the ppl here in the USA could benefit from it & 9 times outta 10 you don't get a career in the field with the degree you paid thousands for!!

Stop stealing our money to pay for other people's privileged choices.

Literally don't care if you're being crushed by debt. You borrowed it, you are the only one who should be paying it off.

Awesome! 👏🏽

You borrowed money, pay it back. Grow up and stop putting it on others. You aren’t owed anything.

I don't have heroes but these folks come close.

😂😂😂😂

Heres a thought- dont take out a loan that you cant afford to pay back.

It is indeed a labor issue. I'm glad to hear that pharmacists are apart of the Kaiser-Permanent union and strike as their wages have been stagnant for at least a decade, they're denied provider status under Medicare Part B, denied some access in some NHSC federal loan forgiveness program participation, and yet the cost of PharmD education and workload responsibilities continuously increase.

Pure evil!! Same evil as MAGA Republicans!! 🤬🤬🤬

🤭 Promo*SM

Pls make a video about SAVE plan. I have very low income and 30k debt trying to see what plan is best for me to save money without the interest exploding

More Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil rights act.

Schumer and the other idiots democrats need to understand a person's rights. It's unconstitutional to take money away from a working individual who has to provide for his family and give to someone to get a Masters or any degree in gender studies. (A waste of time and no value added to society). Specifically when the persons paying may not of had an opportunity to further their education. FJB

This bozo belongs in hoboken as a bar tender. 😮

Chuck the Schmuck strikes again!!!

There are other inaccuracies Chavéz not ended is political degree. Another inaccuracy , not to say that it is directly false, is that the requirements for academic promotion were lowered to flatten the hierarchies, it would take a long time to explain, but it is a point of debate, because it is also not true that doctorates and journals were needed to To be accredited as a university, to say that is to apply the European standard to a totally different reality, even more so it is to ignore the institutional history of the Venezuelan university and the current legislation, because the university law, still today continues to be the law of principle of the 70s of the last century.
