Let’s do it like we did in 2020

John, It's obvious that Republicans will do whatever it takes to "win" (cough cough, attempted coup…) But here's the thing, John: Enough is enough. Enough has been enough. Republicans won't stop at anything when it comes to disenfranchising voters at the local, state,…

Re: The overturning of Roe v. Wade

John, On Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade – opening the door to statewide bans and subsequent rulings that will harm Black people disproportionately. This decision is one of several decisions recently dropped, which were designed to limit our self-determ…

[READ] $2 Trillion dollars

John, We're going to run some numbers by you. As it stands, student debt is at $1.75 trillion and over 46 million Americans have student loan debt. Just to put this into perspective with 1 trillion dollars you could buy every sports league – yes that means all of the N…

No one is coming to save us

John, Various states across the country have taken voter suppression to new levels in an effort to prevent our voices from being heard – voter ID laws, purging voter rolls, restricting ballot drop boxes, refusing to save the Postal Service, and so much more. Last week…

How much do you know about the gender wage gap, John?

Hey John, 62 cents. Sounds like loose change, doesn't it? That's because it is -- and it's how much Black women earn for every dollar that white men earn. The month of March recognizes Women's Equal Pay Day. But we're doing more than an acknowledgment of the day, we'r…

One million dollars lost for Black women

John, Year after year, we see a continuous income gap where women still earn less even while working the same jobs as men. We all know, our democracy is fundamentally flawed. In no country should women be paid less than men, yet in our world's largest economy, men and…

What does your student debt look like?
