[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress
This week, Ayanna testified before the Education Department about the
importance of delivering relief to the millions of Americans who are
burdened by student loan debt.
Last year, President Biden’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt
for borrowers offered so much hope to people that believed they would
never be able to start a family, open a business, or achieve financial
stability.
In her testimony, Ayanna made plain that the reach and impact of that
historic plan should be the bare minimum of what the Department of
Education produces.
She spoke on behalf of burdened borrowers throughout the Massachusetts 7th
and across the country.
She spoke on behalf of the third-grade teacher who spent a decade in the
classroom, month by month struggling to make their student loan payments
on a teacher’s income.
She spoke on behalf of the 76-year-old grandmother on a fixed income still
paying her student loans, who now owes more than she borrowed.
And she spoke on behalf of the young family balancing the skyrocketing
cost of child care, rent, and student loans.
It’s been less than three months since student loan payments resumed, and
borrowers across the country are once again being squeezed. And this
burden is felt disproportionately by Black and Latinx students who have to
borrow at higher rates that take longer for them to pay — leaving
communities of color holding a disproportionate share of the nation’s
student debt burden.
Despite this, Republicans in Congress are trying to overturn President
Biden’s SAVE Plan, which could cap the interest on loans and reduce
monthly payments depending on income.
Student
debt cancellation is essential. But Republican officials are doing
everything they can to rip away lifesaving student debt relief from
borrowers who need it — an unacceptable move that would only harm folks
across the nation. That’s why Ayanna is working to stop Republicans from
overturning the SAVE Plan and pressing the Biden Administration to deliver
student debt cancellation as quickly as possible, to as many borrowers as
possible.

of student debt cancellation and not leave vulnerable borrowers behind,
add your name right away.

When the corrupt Supreme Court obstructed student debt relief, President
Biden promised he would use other tools to cancel student debt. Ayanna is
fighting hard to make sure he makes good on that promise, and she won’t
stop fighting for borrowers to get the student debt cancellation they
demand and deserve.
Thank you,
