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.

Sustain independent journalism that will not back down!

Donald Trump wants us to accept the current state of affairs without making a scene. He wants us to believe that if we resist, he will harass us, sue us, and cut funding for those we care about; he may sic ICE, the FBI, or the National Guard on us. 

We’re sorry to disappoint, but the fact is this: The Nation won’t back down to an authoritarian regime. Not now, not ever.

Day after day, week after week, we will continue to publish truly independent journalism that exposes the Trump administration for what it is and develops ways to gum up its machinery of repression.

We do this through exceptional coverage of war and peace, the labor movement, the climate emergency, reproductive justice, AI, corruption, crypto, and much more. 

Our award-winning writers, including Elie Mystal, Mohammed Mhawish, Chris Lehmann, Joan Walsh, John Nichols, Jeet Heer, Kate Wagner, Kaveh Akbar, John Ganz, Zephyr Teachout, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Kali Holloway, Gregg Gonsalves, Amy Littlefield, Michael T. Klare, and Dave Zirin, instigate ideas and fuel progressive movements across the country. 

With no corporate interests or billionaire owners behind us, we need your help to fund this journalism. The most powerful way you can contribute is with a recurring donation that lets us know you’re behind us for the long fight ahead. 

We need to add 100 new sustaining donors to The Nation this September. If you step up with a monthly contribution of $10 or more, you’ll receive a one-of-a-kind Nation pin to recognize your invaluable support for the free press. 

Will you donate today? 

Onward,
