Last week we delivered 130,000 letters asking Congress to stop student loan interest rates from doubling in July.
Help us reach 150,000 – send an email today.
The drop off was covered by national media including The New York Times, USA Today, CNN, The Washington Post, CBS, and hundreds of local news outlets, bringing the issue to the attention of millions of Americans.
We teamed up with USSA, Campus Progress, and Rebuild the Dream to collect the letters. I think we got their attention – but we need to keep the pressure on to make sure our elected officials do the right thing.
