Hi Victoria here from Evanston! As a 62 yr old, who has 160k in debt, and has lived her ENTIRE adult life (since the 1980s) with student loan debt, I am ready to speak out, take action and be a spokesperson for our cause. I am so done and so tired of the injust system. Where do I begin? How do I begin? I already contacted local gov. folks to no avail. I am serious! I am willing to be a spokesperson for our cause. As a pioneer of this issue, I know the time is NOW. Can anyone help in getting me started on getting this old woman’s voice heard at Capitol Hill?
Do we have a Chicago chapter?
Not that I am aware of. I wish there was one. If there is one, what is the contact info.? Victoria
Hi all – Jen Lezan here - the Co-coord of the Chicago chapter of Debt Collective. As noted at the start of this thread, there is a local Chicago chapter - we are NOT meeting in person, though. We have been coordinating for the last few years - sorry I haven’t been active on the threads, but currently we have been collectively organizing online and keeping those in Illinois up to date via our newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter here:
