As we gear up for the 2022 midterm elections, we are looking for people to build our teams in countries that do not have a Democrats Abroad Country Committee.
We want to make sure ALL our volunteers and members are engaged in 2022! Your responses to the quick 10 minute survey in the link below will help us to better serve our outreach efforts in your region. Whether you can contribute a lot of time or just a little, you can make a difference in the upcoming midterm elections from wherever in the world you live.
Let me know you'll join the effort by filling out the survey. I hope to hear from you soon!
Best regards,
Jen Rakow-Stepper
Regional Vice Chair for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)

OnlineScared to Debt! Film Screening & Panel Discussion with Filmmaker
Scared to Debt!
Film Screening & Panel Discussion with Filmmaker
[Note: film can be viewed anytime between January 27th-31st!]
Currently, 45 million borrowers are saddled with close to $1.9 trillion in federal student loan debt in the United States. The Biden Administration has extended the CARES ACT payment pause until May 1st, 2022. Many borrowers perceive the decision as kicking the can down the road. They remain victims of predatory loan practices within a corrupt system that profits while increasing their debt far beyond their ability to pay it.
View the award-winning Sallie Mae Not documentary, episode one of the Scared to Debt documentary film by Michael Camoin, and join him and others for a panel discussion to learn the chilling reality of student loan corruption in America and options to confront it effectively.
Panelists:
- Michael J. Camoin, Filmmaker: Scared to Debt: America's Student Loan Scam
- Alan Collinge, Founder: StudentLoanJustice.Org
- Reggie Harris: American singer/songwriter (pending)
- Heather Taylor, International Chapter Leader and Social Media Manager: StudentLoanJustice.Org
