Are you one of the 160,000 nonprofit staff struggling with student debt? Are your friends and colleagues burdened by student debt?

Are you ready to take action and have some fun too?

Across California, borrowers and advocates are uniting for the Free My Future Week of Action on Student Loan Debt to demand consumer protections against predatory student loan servicers and share resources that can offer immediate support for borrowers. As part of our work supporting nonprofits staff with student debt, we are participating in the Week of Action and encourage you to take action too.

What you can do during the Week of Action – December 2-7, 2019:

• Share the Week of Action with friends and colleagues and encourage them to participate
• Take the survey to share your experiences with student debt servicing companies
• Share your student debt story
• Download the Nonprofit Student Debt Toolkit from CalNonprofits to learn how to support your staff and colleagues with student debt
• Spread the word on social media about student debt and the Week of Action
• Learn more about the Student Borrower Bill of Rights - AB 376, authored by Assemblymember Mark Stone
• If you're in Los Angeles - say hi to Karina Paredes-Arzola (our Program Associate) at our table at the Student Debt Summit on December 7
