On 4th Anniversary of “Occupy” a Stellar Outcome: $30 Million in Debt Canceled for Americans

Four years ago today, the Occupy Wall Street movement began in New York City’s financial district. Although the encampments that sprang up around the world in solidarity were eventually closed, an amazing effort was soon underway to help “the 99%”.

Since it organized one year later, this positive protest movement has, to date, paid off nearly $32 million in Americans’ personal debt.

Called the “Rolling Jubilee,” the nonprofit buys the debt the same way collection companies do, but instead of trying to collect the money, they simply forgive the debt.
