THE 21 CLUB
The arrest of rapper 21 Savage, a U.K. native, by American immigration authorities last year dropped him squarely into a fervid national debate. Readers (mostly) lauded his subsequent advocacy for the Dreamer Act (DACA), and for his Bank Account Campaign, which teaches teens financial literacy.
@REYNAEMONTOYA: “Several days ago @Forbes wrote a story on the DREAM TEAM ft 21 Savage. It was hard for me to share since my heart hurts every time I think what would I do if #DACA were to be taken away and
I become detained.”
@VLUNA1021: “Thank you to @Forbes & @zogblog for including me as part of @21savage story & the 30 Under 30 Dreamer Team, a list of @Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni Dreamers who are leading initiatives in the fight for immigrant justice.”
MARÍA FERNANDA G.:
“Love that a celebrity is doing good. These classes and other fundamentals should be taught at least [starting in] high school.”
TIAAN MARAIS: “‘The new voice of immigration reform’: the hero we never
knew we needed.”
JENNIFER FRANCIS:
“I love this. It’s so important to teach financial literacy to teens so they can understand the importance of finances to establish a
secure future.”
DAINARIS SANTOS:
“Undocumented? Try using that line to get a bank loan. No. These are
unvetted illegal aliens Democrats are incentivizing to flood by the tens of millions into our schools, hospitals and communities with more than $113 billion a year in taxpayer-funded free health care, education, housing and legal services.”
JUSTIN LOIDOLT:
“Lots of opportunity to teach subjects like
[financial literacy]. Unbelievable how many teens don’t have these skills when they reach
their twenties.”
