John,

Millions of students across the nation are struggling to pay off their student loan debt, even with a full-time job. Now, with unemployment at an all-time high, it is ridiculous that we expect Americans to continue making student loan payments during this crisis.

While families ration food and medicine, lose access to healthcare, and scrape together monthly rent and mortgage payments, debt collectors are still hard at work.

We must include federal student loan payment cancellations in the next coronavirus relief bill for at least the duration of the pandemic.

Last month, I cosponsored the Student Debt Emergency Relief Act and the Coronavirus Emergency Student Loan Refinancing Act -- dedicated to refinancing and halting student loan payments for several months. I need your help to get legislation like this through Congress.

We’re aiming for 500 grassroots petition signatures in the next 48 hours to show Republicans in Congress that we mean business. Add your name to our petition to #CancelStudentDebt >>>

Together, we can make a difference for working families. During this pandemic, we must put people before profits.

¡Si se Puede!

Chuy Garcia
