DC 37’s Program to Help You Ease Your Student Debt Burden

The student debt crisis affects DC 37 members and other workers, as well as our families, and threatens the very possibility of the American dream.

Americans owe $1.45 trillion in student loan debt, a number that has tripled in the last decade as higher education costs have soared. Student loans have surpassed credit cards and auto loans to become the second biggest source of personal debt in the U.S., trailing only mortgages. Student loan debt is now 6 percent of the overall national debt.

Please join us as we:

  • Work to find new solutions and educate our communities about student loans,
  • Help DC 37 members and others in need find student debt relief, and
  • Support legislation and innovative ideas that will help make a college education more affordable for all.

Student Debt Workshops
