Organizers ran actual voter registration drives across the South, training 10,000 teachers to lead Citizenship Schools from 1961-1965, which helped register over 700,000 voters by the time the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. wagingnonviolence.org/2022/1…

Are you someone who will benefit from the student loan relief announced today? If so, please fight for others who are still crushed by debt.
That's how we got this far. Folks staying to fight, even after their loans were erased. Because no one's free, until everyone is free.
Looks like I’m one of 20,000,000+ who will no longer have student loans thanks to @StrikeDebt, so I’m sending them $686 today to help them #CancelAllStudentDebt, bc I know @JoeBiden can’t stop there. Join me 🚀
