John — a quick update and one request.
Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Mark Ruffalo, Kerry Washington, NowThis, and
more are all talking about it: The For the People Act in Congress right
now is our best chance in a generation to fix the root cause of the
student debt crisis and almost every other issue you care about —
political corruption. But the Act will only pass if enough Americans take
action and pressure Congress to do so.
That’s why we just released a brand new short film, Unbreaking America:
Drowning in Student Debt starring Ed Helms. Our previous three Unbreaking
America films were our most successful campaigns to reach Americans,
explain the corruption behind the biggest issues we face, and galvanize
them into action. [ [link removed] ]Can you pitch in a few bucks a month to help us get
this new film in front of as many Americans as possible so we can pass the
For the People Act?
[ [link removed] ]Join the Common Wealth to power the campaign to pass the For the People
Act. Donate now.
Our strategists tell us that to put enough pressure on Congress to pass
this bill, we need half of America to know about the Act. That’s a tall
order. As a Common Wealth member, you can help us reach this critical mass
by powering nationwide ads, outreach programs, and more.
[ [link removed] ]Can we count on a monthly donation from you to reach even more
Americans with this video right now, and power the campaign to pass and
defend the For the People Act?
We know two things: When millions of Americans pressure Congress to act,
they’re forced to do so, or risk losing their seats. And when Americans
see these short films, they’re inspired to take action.
We’re already seeing incredible success — 1.3 million Americans have
already seen the film. But when the opportunity to pass federal
anti-corruption reform is so big, we can’t leave anything on the table.
Thank you for your support.

John,
Today, as a RepresentUs Board Member and all around anti-corruption,
pro-ramen American, I’m proud to announce the launch of our new short
film, [ [link removed] ]Unbreaking America: Drowning in Student Debt.
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
44 million Americans are carrying over $1.6 trillion in student loan
debt. Many can’t become homeowners, afford medical treatment, or even buy
groceries because of it. It is a crisis. And like so many of America’s
problems, it’s caused by political corruption.
[ [link removed] ]Watch our new short film to see why corruption is at the root of the
student debt crisis, and how right now we have a huge, urgent new
opportunity in Congress to fix it.
Let’s be clear: Student debt isn’t about irresponsible young people taking
out more loans than they’ll be able to pay back, it’s about a corrupt
cycle between loan companies, lobbyists, and our lawmakers, designed to
make them rich and powerful — at your expense.
President Biden may make some progress on student debt — and while this
short term fix would be a big step, it wouldn’t solve the root of the
problem: Corruption.
Right now, a new anti-corruption law called the For the People Act is
moving through Congress. It would break the cycle of corruption by fixing
campaign finance and ethics laws, modernizing and securing our elections
and voting systems, and ending the pay-to-play politics that lets big
money and special interests co-opt our government for their own gain.
But it won’t solve anything if it doesn’t pass, and that’s where you come
in.
The For the People Act could be brought up for a vote in the next couple
weeks, and we need to show Congress that their constituents want it
passed. [ [link removed] ]Check out our brand new short film Unbreaking America: Drowning
in Student Debt to learn how corruption created this crisis, how the For
the People Act would address it, and how you can make sure it passes.
After years of grassroots action and state and local victories, the
anti-corruption movement has built nation-wide momentum for democracy
reform. Let’s use it to win big. We have the best opportunity in decades
to pass vital legislation at the federal level. Now, the movement has to
double down, up the pressure, and take the fight to Congress.
Thank you for being a part of this movement.
