Dr. Richelle Brooks is a member of The Debt Collective and a Biden Jubilee 100 striker. Brooks is the founder of ReTHINK It, an organization dedicated to addressing anti-blackness through education and mutual aid. She is also a full-time educator and a single momma of two. As a first-generation college graduate and a formerly houseless person, she has learned to navigate the oppressive and racist systems and institutions, and has made it her life-work to help others do the same, while simultaneously working to dismantle these systems that perpetuate those inequities.
On January 20th, as Biden/Harris were sworn into office, The Debt Collective, an organization fighting against debt as a system of oppression, launched a national student loan debt strike.
