Student Debt is a Feminist Issue ft. Students United

Renee sits down with Lexi and Kayla from Students United, a student-led organization that has launched Fck Student Debt, a campaign to eliminate student debt. They discuss the efforts within Minnesota, how their work can be a catalyst for a greater movement, and why student debt is a feminist issue.

Feminist Book Club will donate 5% of our total sales in September to the Fck Student Debt campaign. If you would like to contribute more, head to www.fckstudentdebt.com.

When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch. Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
