We love DIY resistance. Here's What You’re Doing:

You're sending a legally recognized, USPS Certified Mail protest letter to the U.S. Department of Education. This letter serves as formal notice that you do not consent to your federal student loans being sold, transferred, or privatized.

It’s simple, powerful, and documented.

And yes—you can do it all yourself, right now, for just a few bucks at the post office.

You can:

• Fill it out by hand or type your info
• Print and sign it
• Keep a copy for your own records
• Send it via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt (Form 3811)

• A printer
• 1 sheet of paper
• A standard letter envelope
• A USPS Certified Mail form (Form 3800)
• A green Return Receipt card (Form 3811)
• $5–$8 for postage at your local post office

U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave SW
Washington, D.C. 20202

Ask your post office to attach the green card (PS Form 3811) and give you a tracking number. Save your receipt and upload to our Receipt Wall.
