We aren't living beyond our means. We've been denied the means to live! Our debts are rich people's assets. The time has come to fight back. But how? Join us for a A Teach-In Introducing the Debt Collective - the nation's first union of debtors. Feat. local organizers Maddy Clifford and Emily Birnbaum.
