1/ This is Marcia DeOliveira-Longinetti. After the murder of her son in 2015, the NJ state student loan agency that had lent him money sent her a letter. As the co-signer, she would have to continue paying the loan until it was repaid in full. propub.li/2KLtEFA
2/ @ProPublica reporter @AnnieWaldman interviewed Marcia for a story on the NJ agency, which pushes burdensome student loans w/ aggressive collections & few reprieves, even for borrowers who had died. propub.li/2KLtEFA
3/ After the story, @GovChristie signed a new requirement for the agency to forgive debts of borrowers who die or become permanently disabled. And Marcia stopped getting monthly bills. propub.li/2IMlxXq
4/ Impact has been at the core of ProPublica’s mission since we launched 10 years ago, and it remains the principal yardstick for our success today. For our 10th anniversary, we’re presenting stories of people whose lives have been affected by our work. propub.li/2Mgwm6W
