I did not realize how easy it was to collectively fight medical debt. Just learned about this initiative in Philly that raised over $17.000 and erased 1.6 MILLION in medical debt for the community. Let's do this in our own communities!

A group of Philadelphians erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.

Anyone in Detroit / Southeastern Michigan want to work on this?

A group of Philadelphians erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.
