John,
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: The Supreme Court has once again prioritized profits over people and corporations over constituencies in the decision today to overturn the Biden administration’s student loan cancellation program and to allow businesses to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community.
It’s no coincidence that the right-wing Supreme Court and the GOP are standing in the way of canceling student debt and protecting LGBTQ+ rights.
They know student debt cancellation is a racial and economic justice issue. Black women carry more debt than any other group in America -- and carry it the longest. Black borrowers have nearly twice as much student debt ($52,700) after four years of college as our white peers ($28,000).
This racist, bigoted right-wing majority also doesn’t care about our LGBTQ+ siblings. The decision to side with an evangelical Christian graphic artist from Colorado who does not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, despite the state’s protective anti-discrimination law, is just another excuse to punish our communities and enforce a white supremist religious patriarchy on everyone.
We have a mandate to ensure our rights are not stripped away to implement a fascist and hateful agenda. I’m proud to lead on the Judiciary Act, which would expand the Court and help us reclaim our democracy once and for all. To make it happen, I need your help to build support. Please sign on in support of the Judiciary Act now.
Neither partisan nor corporate interests should prevent borrowers from receiving the life-changing relief they need and deserve, nor should the Court enshrine racism, bigotry and hate into law -- again -- by overturning legal protection for college admissions or the LGBTQ+ community.
We must expand the Supreme Court now.
With love,
Cori
