STUDENT LOANS
2. JP Morgan Chase and Bank One are the #1 student loan providers in the United States. They control over 15% of this $45 billion industry.
3. The United Nations declared that slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade are and always have been crimes against humanity.
4. Slavery was institutionalized terrorism, genocide, kidnap, rape, torture, and robbery of humans for corporate profit and greed.
5. Enslaved Africans and their descendants have been demanding justice for slavery for over 150 years. They have never given up this struggle.
6. While not every United States citizen participated in the enslavement of their fellow human beings, most have benefited from the economic opportunities made possible by uncompensated enslaved laborers.
7. Multibillion dollar banks, like JP Morgan Chase and Bank One, have had the benefit of the wealth that enslaved laborers generated; while enslaved Africans and their descendants have suffered the loss of the fruits of 450 years of labor. Imagine losing just one year of your income.
8. Lawsuits are pending to hold JP Morgan Chase and Bank One accountable. Although there is significant documentation of the company's role in the enslavement of Africans, they refuse to settle the lawsuits.
9. The lawsuits call for the creation of a humanitarian trust fund to heal the injuries caused by JP Morgan Chase and other tainted banks -- i.e. urban poverty, inadequate healthcare, and lost housing, employment, educational, and business opportunities.
10. Undergraduate students have the power to command justice from JP Morgan Chase and other tainted banks. Use your right to choose from hundreds of other student loan providers. School financial aid offices have a list of alternative lenders. Boycott JP Morgan Chase.
