[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to urge President Biden: Don't let Republicans stop
you! Cancel student debt.

Dear MoveOn member,

Last year, corrupt, Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices (many of
whom were appointed by Trump) shamefully ripped President Biden's student
loan relief away from 40 million Americans, leaving tens of millions of
borrowers without a lifeline as payments restarted again.^1

In response, President Biden enacted his "Plan B" to deliver student debt
relief but was again challenged in a lawsuit brought by a coalition of
Republican attorneys general. Their case has no legal standing—even a
Republican-appointed judge in Georgia's federal court rebuffed the case
and dismissed it last month.^2 President Biden's plan to deliver student
debt relief is legal and necessary, and he must press on to ensure people
get the relief they desperately need through executive action before it's
too late.

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition to ask President Biden to cancel student
debt?

Millions of borrowers, including seniors who would have their Social
Security garnished under Trump and victims of for-profit institutions, are
counting on relief. There is no time to waste. President Biden must finish
the job and cancel student debt now.

Time and time again, the far-right majority of the Supreme Court has put
special interests and politics ahead of people and above delivering
justice under the law. But we cannot and will not be silent.

Student debt fuels economic, gender, and racial inequality. Our persistent
racial wealth gap means that students of color, especially those who are
Black and brown, are more likely to have student debt, borrow in higher
quantities, and face more struggles in repayment.^3

A higher education should be the key to a better future, instead of a
lifetime debt sentence that limits borrowers' ability to buy homes, start
small businesses, and save for retirement, cutting into opportunities for
wealth-building over their lifetimes. This is why student debt
cancellation is so important.

[ [link removed] ]And President Biden can finish the job he's already started by issuing
an executive order to cancel student debt. Will you add your name to the
petition?

Trump's agenda includes dismantling the Department of Education (DOE),
which would have devastating impacts on our communities. The DOE oversees
the Pell Grant and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
which gives aid to college students who need financial aid.^4 The DOE also
enforces the civil rights of students and supports school programs that
support students with disabilities.^5

But Trump, Republicans, and Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices
cannot have the last word. We won't let them win. We have to push back and
be in solidarity with each other.

Together, we can keep getting loud to show President Biden that he has the
power to to give millions of Americans the student debt relief they need
and deserve. President Biden must cancel student debt via executive order
before Trump and Republicans gain control over all three branches of our
federal government.
