Mobilize.org’s Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategic Communication featured on newsreview.com
April 25, 2008
Monday morning, 6:30 a.m: You wake up, shower, coffee and go online to check e-mail and CNN for gossip and news of the world. You forward a proposal you drafted over the weekend to your work e-mail. Next, since you compulsively sang it in the shower, you play again that YouTube video of the woman from a Bulgarian version of American Idol crooning Mariah Carey’s “Without You” in her own personal version of English: “Ken Lee … dulibu dibu douchoo …” (You’ll now be singing this under your breath for the rest of the day.) After skipping around to a few other sites, you dress, breakfast and join the Interstate 80 commute into downtown Sacramento, remembering to text message your sister with a reminder about the lunch date.

Mobilize.org Student Loan Crisis Brief
We’re Broke, Let’s Fix It: The Student Loan Crisis and Its Impacts on the Millennial Generation
In response to the impending student loan crisis, Common Cause and Mobilize.org released today We’re Broke, Let’s Fix It: The Student Loan Crisis and Its Impacts on the Millennial Generation. The report is targeted towards members of the Millennial Generation, encouraging Millennials to recognize the impacts that student loans, education financing, and the practices of lenders can have on their lifestyle.
Examining the effects of student debt on the lives of members of the Millennial Generation, the report concludes that the student loan crisis is resulting in a public sector “brain drain,” forcing some of the Millennial Generation’s best and brightest to pursue work outside of the public sector.
We’re Broke, Let’s Fix It further analyzes the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008, finding that it operates as a stop-gap measure, easing the student loan crisis for the 2008-2009 academic year, but that it is not the type of long-term solution to the issues of education financing that continue to plague higher education.

This election year, while youth are coming out to the polls in record numbers, they also have the opportunity to contribute to their fellow citizens’ enjoyment of the democratic process by volunteering to be a poll worker. We will be announcing this program publicly in 2 weeks, but I was hoping to sign up 10 – 20 poll workers to help us launch this program.
