Justice for Trayvon Martin

The Trayvon Martin case should stir a uproar within the black community. It's a wakeup call to us all that racism is still alive. It breaks my heart to see Black Men brutally beaten and/or murdered by a justice system that is here to "protect" us. There is no justice in an injustice act but yet their wrongdoers walk away as if it never happened.

A young man’s life was ruined because he looked “suspicious”?? WHAT!

Issues like this make my blood boil when wrongdoers walk away freely because the justice systems doesn’t see fit to act as it should. Laws have to change. Society has to change.

Being Black in America has been a crime for years, when will we learn to love each other as we are?

Cases like this date back to people like Emmett Till and Rodney King were their wrongdoers walked free. We have to take a stand! Stop killing our black men.

Reducing Your Student Loan Debt: Barack Obama's plan to help College Student Loan Borrowers

Nearly six million students who have both guaranteed and direct loans will soon be able to refinance them and get a discount under President Barack Obama's student loan debt reform plan: "Help Americans Manage Student Loan Debt". You'll only have to write one check a month and within a year it will ensure that more than 1.6 million college students won't be required to make loan repayments over 10% of their income.

President Obama's plan will make college more affordable for students. All remaining debt is forgiven after 20 years of payments for college students. Debt is forgiven after 10 years for teachers, nurses, members of the armed forces, and others in public service careers.

These are just some of the important repayment options designed to make student loan repayments more affordable. All of this progress builds off student loan reform President Obama signed into law in 2010. All of this progress makes sure that more students from working and middle class families can get college educations and the opportunities that come with them.

Bankers don't get to be middlemen for student loans anymore. We saved $68 billion dollars by taking them out of the equation and a lot of the money is going towards loans and grants to make college more affordable for more people.

Share this news and join the movement. President Obama needs your voice to be heard. He needs you to tell Congress that reforms like this are what we're fighting for.

“The incident that really jump-started this movement was an incident at Akers Hall where someone wrote ‘No Ni**ers, please’ on a door of a young lady’s room,” said Mario Lemons, the president of the MSU Black Student Alliance (BSA). “The residence life staff told us not to talk about. Of course, someone took a picture of it and sent it to one of us.
