***New Campaign For Student Loan Forgiveness For Farmers!*** ((Call this Sunday)) From: National Young Farmers Coaltion Hey all, Were about to launch a new campaign for student loan forgiveness for farmers- and we need your input! Weve heard student loans come up again and again as a major hurdle to pursuing a career in agriculture. And with the Higher Education Act up for reauthorization, now is the perfect time to address the issue. Our goal is to get farmers added to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program-- a program that was created to provide debt relief for careers in the public service: doctors, teachers, government employees, and non-profit workers. We couldnt be more excited about it. Eric has already started getting support from members of Congress. But to win this, we need a coordinated grassroots effort. We need you! To get everyone up to speed, answer questions, hear your input and plan out next steps, wed like to have a Local Leaders call on Sunday, October 12th at 5pm PT/ 6pm MT/ 7pm CT/ 8pm ET. Well use the NYFC conference line: (712) 432-0370 passcode is 506097# Im attaching a campaign one-pager for background reading before the call. Thanks and hope to talk to you all on Sunday!
