Have student loans? The SAVE Plan is ending, and this will impact repayment plans for millions of people.
The U.S. Department of Education no longer offers the SAVE plan, and borrowers enrolled in those plans will ultimately have to choose new repayment plans.
We know s can be confusing, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ve created a fact sheet to help you understand the changes and explore your repayment options.
Visit the link below to learn more and find your next steps.

Latino voters are poised to play a significant role in elections across the country, and this is particularly true in Michigan.
Yesterday, we joined the American Federation of Teachers (@AFTunion) and Centro Multicultural La Familia to launch a canvassing effort that will engage cross the state. In the previous U.S Senate election in Michigan, the winner was decided by 19,000 votes, this tells you that EVERY VOTE MATTERS.
Through door knocking, text messaging, and events, we are meeting our community members where they are to ensure that everyone has the information they need to vote. We are thankful to the community members who turned out for yesterday’s event and to the canvassers who are speaking with voters about why these elections matter.
This campaign is a part of our broader La Voz de Mi Gente campaign to engage with two million voters across 14 states.
What motivates you to vote in this year’s election? Share your thoughts in the comments!

With one of the largest concentrations of Latino voters in the country, the Rio Grande Valley is a key region poised to shape the future of Texas and the country this November. Nearly 316,000 Latino voters in the Rio Grande Valley sat out the 2024 election. If even a fraction of this cycle, it could reshape outcomes up and down the ballot. Over 90 percent of the Valley residents identify as Latino.
Earlier this month, Hispanic Federation and @votolatino brought neighbors, local leaders, and elected officials together in Edinburg, Texas, for the #Juntosenel956, a community town hall and fireside chat to inform and mobilize Latino voters ahead of the midterm's elections. Voter engagement starts with listening to communities, providing trusted information, and ensuring voters have the resources they need to participate in our democracy.
Hispanic Federation and Voto Latino understand what it means to invest in historically underinvested communities. This is the first of many investments in the Rio Grande Valley to ensure that we meet voters where they are, and RGV voices are heard.
As early voting gets underway in Texas, we encourage eligible voters to stay informed about the voting process, key dates, and how to make their voices heard. Early voting in Texas is happening now until Friday, October 30.

We were honored to have Mayor Mamdani note the importance of The People's Hearing in New York City and the way that it addressed the negative effects ICE enforcement is having on our communities.
While we were hosting the People's Hearing, a Dominican man was shot by an ICE r-old son in the back seat, making it abundantly clear why we must document these abuses.
We are listening to the people who are most impacted by aggressive federal operations so that we can demand that Congress enact the policies that can protect our communities from the harms that have caused immeasurable damage to people across the country.
