Welcome to Tuesday, April 9th, suns and moons...

The Biden administration revealed a new plan to erase student debt for millions of Americans.

If the new plan is passed, over 30 million borrowers could have all or some of their debt forgiven. 

Biden's plan amends an earlier version that the Supreme Court rejected in June of last year. It offers relief to specific groups of borrowers, including those who have carried debt for over 20 years, those facing economic hardship, those already eligible for loan forgiveness or discharge programs but haven't applied, and those who owe more money than they did at the start of their repayment.

How do you feel about Biden's new plan?

It's Earth Month, How Can You Give Back to the Planet?

April is Earth Month, a time to celebrate our planet and take action to protect life on it.

Last year, scientists delivered a "final warning" on the climate crisis: act now, or it will be too late. As greenhouse gas emissions rise and push the world to the brink of irreversible destruction, scientists and activists worldwide are desperately urging leaders to take action.
