Making Worlds Cooperative Bookstore & Social Center Screening and Assembly: Freedom Dreams Short Film Screening/Debtors Assembly.

Black women are burdened with a disproportionate amount of debt. For example, they graduate with an average of $37,558 in student debt. During this political education session PA Debt Collective member JahAsia Jacobs will lead a discussion on the short film Freedom Dreams: Black Women and the Student Debt Crisis. Following the screening, we will host a Debtors Assembly in which people will be able to break the social silence on indebted life and discuss the abolition of all types of debt.

Advance registration required (free and by donation). Click here. This is an in-person event at Making Worlds Bookstore in Philadelphia. Folks can also join the live-stream via the Common Notions YouTube channel.

This is the second installment in the four-part Poli-Ed Events in collaboration with PA Debt and Higher Ed Labor United
