I'm excited to be a on a panel at Netroots Nation next week as part of my work to start up Project Springboard to end student loans and make college free. I've been bootstrapping myself with freelance work but I'm late getting paid for a spring project so I wasn't able to buy my plane tickets for NN and the west coast trip. When you are a freelancer, each check matters. I'm confident I'll get paid soon but it might not be in time to be able to buy the tickets at a rate I can afford.
After Netroots, I'm headed to Oakland/San Francisco for meetings with colleagues also working in the student loan justice space, and a two days of self-care with close friends.
Please help me raise $800 so I can buy the tickets today. Any extra money raised will be used to work on Project Springboard.
