Debtors have been mocked, scolded and lied to for decades. We have
been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get
medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own
incarceration. We 've been told there is no way to change an
economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small
minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has
revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a
political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected
officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only
question was: where would the money go and who would benefit from
the bailout? The truth is that there has never been a lack of money
for things like housing, education and health care. Millions of
people never needed to be forced into debt for those things in the
first place. Armed with this knowledge, a militant debtors movement
has the potential to rewrite the contract and assure that no one
has to mortgage their future to survive. Debtors of the World Must
Unite. As isolated individuals, debtors have little influence. But
as a bloc, we can leverage our debts and devise new tactics to
challenge the corporate creditor class and help win reparative,
universal public goods. Individually, our debts overwhelm us. But
together, our debts can make us powerful.
