What is “Supporting”?
Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. You and every other supporter are standing up for an idea with the power of your voice.
How do I support?
Choose between your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account to grant Thunderclap permission to post a message on your behalf. That’s it! If the campaign reaches its support goal by the deadline, Thunderclap will automatically post your message and all other supporters' messages at the same time.
A note on privacy
When you log into Thunderclap using your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account, you’re allowing our platform to share a single message on your behalf. That’s all. We use the absolute minimum permissions possible to post a message on your behalf. The platforms we integrate with sometimes include additional permissions that we do not use and we will not post anything from your friends' accounts.

Debt has become a means of survival in the United States. Most workers haven’t seen a real wage increase in 35 years. Instead, we’ve experienced a rollback of workplace protections and bosses demanding more of our time, often at a moment’s notice.
Just to hold on, we have to borrow: to finance our homes, our education, our health care, or even our next meal. If white families are facing these struggles, it’s even tougher for black and Latino families, who’ve long been denied any kind of foothold in our economy.
The Up From Debt conference will connect our experiences and struggles, address impacts on people of color and women,. We’ll begin to frame debt as a deep and broad problem that needs both universal and targeted solutions. The conference goals are to:
Talk about the impact of debt on our lives, analyze how structures and institutions push people into the debt trap.
Create a venue where people can break the shame and isolation associated with debt and feel empowered to fight back – together.
Give support at the grassroots level to those who are fighting against the various forms of debt, including medical debt, foreclosure, legal financial obligations, student loan debt, payday lending, predatory small business lending, and credit card debt.
Identify big policy ideas for freeing people from debt, minimizing future debt, and ending the devastating impact on all families.
