Student Debt Crisis (formerly ForgiveStudentLoanDebt.com) is staging a video contest for the 36 million Americans affected by crushing student loan debt. Starting on August 1, interested applicants have been submitting video testimonials recounting their personal student debt experiences. Prizes will be awarded to the top six entries.

The submission portion of the contest will run for one month, ending on August 31, 2012.  On September 1st, all of the submissions will be featured at StudentDebtCrisis.com, allowing the public to view all of the videos and vote for their favorites. Winners will be announced on September 17, 2012.

By providing this interactive platform for student debtors to share their personal testimonials, the Student Debt Crisis team aims to provide a voice for the millions affected. Those interested in participating are encouraged to take action at StudentDebtCrisis.com.

Support The Nation’s June Fundraising Campaign

With the midterm elections now firmly upon us, the question is whether Democratic candidates will do more than merely occupy ballot lines as mild alternatives to the red-hot crisis that is Donald Trump.

As Trump spends over $1 billion a day on a globally destabilizing war on Iran and admits that he doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation,” millions across the country are struggling with the surging costs of essentials. Democrats must seize this moment and advance bold, small-“d” populist ideas—not settle for cynical caution that once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

The Nation elevates progressive ideas, movements, and elected officials achieving real change across the country into the national conversation. At the same time, our journalists are exposing how crypto and AI-funded super PACs are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to knock out candidates they oppose, reporting on the devastating impact of the Supreme Court’s evisceration of the Voting Rights Act, and sounding the alarm on attempts by red states to quickly redraw electoral maps, disenfranchising Southern Black voters.

We can play this critical role because of support from readers like you. This June, we’re raising $20,000 to power The Nation’s independent journalism in the run-up to November’s immensely consequential elections.

It’s in our power to build a more just society, and your support at this critical moment brings us closer to that bold vision. I hope you’ll donate today.

Onward,
