President Biden will deliver his final State of the Union address in his first term tonight. There are a number of issues I’m hoping he’ll speak to, but before the President’s speech I’d also like to know: which issues you’re hoping he’ll prioritize tonight? Please click here to share your thoughts—your feedback is important to me.
My guest for tonight — Priscilla Higuera Valentine — is an educator, first-generation American, and Boston Teachers Union (BTU) representative for her school in Boston, who had over $117,000 in student loan debt canceled through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. This is thanks to our efforts organizing alongside labor organizations like the BTU, this team of grassroots supporters, and the Biden-Harris administration.
I look forward to uplifting Priscilla’s story, honoring the educators of the Massachusetts 7th Congressional District, and underscoring the transformative impact of student debt cancellation. That’s why we want to hear President Biden double-down on continuing to deliver student debt cancellation for as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.
I’m also hoping he speaks plainly about the crises people are facing — at home and abroad — and calls for an immediate, lasting ceasefire in Gaza to save lives, return all hostages to their loved ones, and deliver the humanitarian aid Palestinians in Gaza desperately need.
I’m hoping he prioritizes a plan for investing in our care infrastructure to create an equitable economy, ensure care workers and early educators have the resources they need, and restore dignity to care work.
I’m hoping he lays a framework for closing the racial wealth gap to address generations of systemic racism and break cycles of generational poverty for Black and brown folks.
I’m hoping he affirms that abortion is a safe, normal, and necessary human right. And I hope he lays out his plan to not only prevent a federal abortion ban, but to protect and expand abortion access for everyone who calls America home.
Yours in service,
Ayanna
