The time to cancel student debt is is now. Biden has said the "final" moratorium on student loan payments ends on May 1\, 2022. But\, we know ou r communities are suffering. We also know President Biden has the authorit y to fix it by picking up a pen and issuing an Executive Order to cancel a ll student loan debt. It's a simple\, effective way for him to add billion s back into our economy\, create jobs\, narrow the racial wealth gap\, and help everyone in our country\, and it'd fulfill a campaign promise that s o far he's broken.Despite our efforts\, calls from Congress for him to can cel debt\, and a growing number of city resolutions demanding the same&mda sh\;he has made no move to address this economic\, racial\, and gender inj ustice. Debtors and our allies are taking action to say: Pick up the Pen\, Joe . Cancel student debt for all 45 million Americans.

Millions of people ne ver needed to be forced into debt for those things in the first place.&nbs p\;\n\n\n\nArmed with this knowledge\, a militant debtors movement has the potential to rewrite the contract and assure that no one has to mortgage their future to survive.\n\n\n\nYou are invited to join our Debt Collectiv e Book Club where we will explore these topics as we read \;Can’t Pa y\, Won’t Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition.&nb sp\;Reading schedule is below.\n\n\n\nWeek 1 (May 18): \;\n\n\n\nForew ord \;Introduction: We Own the Bank \;\n\n\n\nWeek 2 (May 25):&nbs p\;\n\n\n\nChapter 1: You Are Not a Loan: Recognizing Our Power in the Age of Debt \;Chapter 2\; How Did We Get Here?: Financialization from Hai ti to the Household\n\n\n\nWeek 3 (June 1): \;\n\n\n\nChapter 3: Debt Strike: Cities\, Countries\, Empires \;Chapter 4: Disrupting Dystopia: Algorithmic Extraction and Digital Redlining \;\n\n\n\nWeek 4 (June 8 ): \;\n\n\n\nChapter 5: The Future of Finance: Economic Disobedience a nd Reparative Public Goods \;\n\n\n\n\nRegister for our Book Club!\n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:49@debtcollective.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220614T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220614T203000 DTSTAMP:20230106T205302Z URL:https://debtcollective.org/event/writing-workshop/ SUMMARY:Writing Workshop DESCRIPTION:\nWriting is an integral aspect of the Debt Collective's work.
