The Debt Collective presents a screening of the short film, You Are Not a Loan. A discussion will follow the screening.
ABOUT THE FILM
Activists and academics discuss the crisis of higher education and the growing movement to cancel student debt and make college free for all | A short film by Astra Taylor, a founder of the Debt Collective.
The Debt Collective is the nation’s first debtors’ union, with the mission to abolish ALL debt—student loan, credit card, carceral––and to build a world where college is publicly funded, healthcare is universal, and housing is guaranteed for all.
Come learn more about the work of the Debt Collective, the strides being made toward the abolition of student loan debt, and how you can get involved.

ABOUT THE DEBT COLLECTIVE
The Debt Collective is building a mass movement to transform individual financial struggle (and the shame and isolation that comes with it) into collective power. Alone, our debts are a burden, but together they give us power over an exploitative system. Join us to build a world where college is publicly funded, healthcare is universal, and housing is guaranteed for all.
Join the fight in breaking the chains of student loan debt–Cancel the Debt, Strengthen Democracy!
