Student Advocacy Day
Thursday, March 6, 2025
An all-day, virtual event
This is your opportunity to help make a difference! Join forces with fellow CSD students and NSSLHA chapters to make your collective voice be heard. In October, we prioritized easing the burden of student loan debt by asking Congress to support the Student Loan Interest Elimination Act.
To date, we have sent over 10,000 Take Action letters to Congress in support of this Act.
Our advocacy issue for March will be posted at a later date–watch this space!
If you would like to advocate for the Student Loan Interest Elimination Act:
1. Send letters to your member(s) of Congress and ask them to co-sponsor the Student Loan Interest Elimination Act.
- Go to this page.
- Fill in your info.
- Click "send message" and your letter will automatically send to your member(s) of Congress!
2. Print and customize these Take Action signs [PDF]. Share why you took action for the Student Loan Interest Elimination Act and post a photo of yourself and your sign on your socials. Tag National NSSLHA and the member(s) of Congress to whom your letters were sent.
Together, we can do this! #NSSLHAstrong! #NSSLHAStudentAdvocacyDay
Organize a Chapter Event
Advocating is more fun when you do it as a group! So why not organize a virtual "dinner" or set aside time during a chapter meeting for members to submit Take Action letters on their laptops! It’s a great way for members to talk to each other about why it’s important for them to advocate.
Need to incentivize your members to participate? Think about offering them a gift card for a “piece of pizza for a piece of their time,” or a donut so they, “donut forget about advocacy.”
Visit our Grassroots Advocacy page for ideas and ways to get involved at the local, state, and/or federal levels in October and all year long.
