“You go work for these high-tech companies. You can make $250-$300k and not have to worry about how you’re going to pay back this debt. I could have done that. I’m smart. I could have done that, But I took on this commitment to become an educator, and I’m being penalized for it.”

The term "bank tenant" was a useful term of art for homeowners with mortgages (nearly 60% of all homeowners of the supermajority of US households who own homes) to surface a relationship of debt central to the GFC. But it takeS on a whole new meaning with loans with 50-year terms

There are a group of people working to convince you that being in debt to a bank for shelter for the entirety of your life is good for you — when in actuality it is only good for Wall Street banks and billion dollar private equity firms. Reject them and their lies at every turn.

It’s the first of the month. That means tenants in Los Angeles have officially been on utility strike for six months. They are refusing to pay RUBS (ratio utility billing system) bills while they demand transparency for their high monthly bills.

The debt strike is starting small, but at a virtual launch event with Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Wednesday, organizers laid out their plans to expand it. “We can cancel rent debt,” Tlaib told the group. “Our country is unimaginably wealthy; the problem is power.”

Organized with support from @StrikeDebt, former tenants of Equity Residential, a real estate investment trust that owns more than 80,000 apartments nationwide, are refusing to pay rent debt they say stems from predatory practices. inthesetimes.com/article/tenant…

New: We're sparking a coordinated form of economic resistance that has never been done in the housing space. We're organizing a debt-strike. Rental debtors around the country will refuse to pay their back-rent debt to a giant corporate landlord. And we're going to win.

We need to draw attention to a new, exploding type of household debt that only recently emerged: it's called rent debt—or "back rent debt," and it didn't really exist before COVID at all. It's getting little attention in housing discourse and media coverage. We'll explain it.

Debtors need to organize — but it begins by turning our stigma and shame into power. Can you join our monthly debtors' assembly tonight? Creditors bank on us, debtors, not knowing who each other are or sharing our stories. Let's defy that. Tonight: debtcollective.org/event/monthly-…

Weeks ago, a federal judge issued a restraining order explicitly prohibiting ICE's indiscriminate targeting of LA workplaces. Today—in another violation of that order—ICE raided a Home Depot, kidnapping day laborers + street vendors. Here's how you can help folks on the ground:

No, disputing your student debt because DOGE violated your privacy, will NOT get your student loans cancelled. It may force credit bureaus to do something, but the DOE won’t be canceling your student loans for something they/this administration allowed. 🥴

Idk who needs to hear this, but no matter what these predatory institutions suggest, DON’T refinance your federal student loans with a private lender.
