UPDATE: DeVos delayed - One week to stop Trump's pick for Education Secretary
StudentDebtCrisis
I am so proud of Student Debt Crisis members. We asked and you answered the call!
Last Tuesday, we delivered your signatures to Senator Lamar Alexander’s office ahead of Betsy DeVos’ confirmation hearing - sending a strong message that student loan borrowers will not tolerate someone who has no plans to tackle the trillion-dollar student debt crisis! We just received an update - due to ethics concerns, DeVos’ VOTE has been postponed, yet again until Tuesday, January 31st. That means we have ONE MORE WEEK to keep the pressure on.
Join the over 90,000 concerned citizens and supporters: SIGN and SHARE the Emergency Petition to Defend Public Education to Stop DeVos.
Did you see Betsy DeVos' disastrous senate hearing? Our senators showed that she had zero experience in public education and she admitted to having never dealt with financial aid or student loans. Since last week's hearing, our petition to reject DeVos' nomination has more than TRIPLED its support.
Countless supporters have also called their senators and taken local actions to #StopDeVos. We’ve found that calling your senator's office is one of most effective ways to have your voice heard. Even if you’ve called before - you can call every day until the vote on Tuesday, January 31st.
Here’s how to help:
-
CALL YOUR SENATORS - start with their state office and then call their D.C. office
-
EXTRA CREDIT: Take a picture or video of your call and share it on Twitter with the hashtag #StopDeVos
-
-
SIGN THE PETITION to help #StopDeVos
-
EXTRA CREDIT: Share the petition with 5 friends and tell them why you want to #StopDeVos.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication,
Natalia and the Student Debt Crisis team
