The first bill I introduced when I got to the Senate in 2013 was to make student loans more affordable so that Americans would not continue to get crushed by debt.

And shortly after I launched my campaign for president, one of the first plans I released was to cancel student debt and ensure free technical schools, community colleges, and public universities.

Across the country, in selfie line after selfie line, I heard stories from so many people — with tears in their eyes — explaining how much debt they were in, and how much this plan would mean for them.

Another thing I kept hearing, though, over and over and over, was “Great idea, but that will never happen.”

Well, this week, 813,000 borrowers received an email from President Biden with the words “Congratulations — your student loan has been forgiven.”

This is a perfect reminder that “radical” plans CAN happen, when we fight for them. We got organized and got a broad-based student debt cancellation plan to the president’s desk. Even though the Supreme Court substituted politics for the rule of law by striking it down, we’re still persisting, and President Biden has still been able to cancel around $127 billion in student debt so far for nearly 3.6 million borrowers. I’m staying in the fight to lift this crushing burden from more people’s shoulders.

We can keep proving the naysayers wrong. We can keep showing what it looks like to make our government work for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. It doesn’t all happen overnight, but it gets done because we fought side by side as a grassroots movement.

We can continue making big, structural change like this. We can make a wealth tax, universal child care, Supreme Court reform, and so much more possible. We just need to build our momentum, organize, and keep fighting side by side. So before our November fundraising deadline, can you pitch in $28 or anything you can to hit our goal and power our movement forward?
