Today, June 28th, Milwaukee youth will hold a media conference to tell Congress to reach an agreement that will prevent the doubling of federal student loans on 7.4 million students, including 163,000 Wisconsinites. The July 1st deadline is looming and without Congressional action, many low income and students of color who largely depend on financial aid will bear the burden of inaction.  Following the media conference, participants will take their student loan message into the community with a neighborhood canvass.  Please join them today.

When: Thursday, June 28, 2012, at 12:30 PM
