The latest Occupy Wall Street movement, the ‘Strike Debt’ movement consists of a group of professors, documentary filmmakers and corporate dropouts. The group aims to purchase some of the American people’s looming debt. ‘Strike Debt’ held a fundraiser last week at the Le Poisson Rouge nightclub called the ‘Rolling Jubliee.’ Before the event took place, the group had already raised $129,00 through online donations. Since then, the group’s efforts have raised more than $350,000.
In addition to raising funds for American’s drowning in debt, the group has also produced the ‘Credit Resistors’ Operations Manual. The manual explains how to fight and ignore creditors and explains how the credit industry works. While the group remains somewhat controversial, Forbes Magazine praised the movement, calling it an “idea we can all get behind.” The group will start the movement by purchasing medical debt and later move on to student loan and credit card debt.
