The freeze on student loan debt payments expires at the end of the year, team -- and if Joe Biden does not act quickly once in office, tens of millions of people will be forced to make massive payments even as they struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.
Will you join me and my sister in service Ayanna Pressley in calling for the Biden administration to cancel all student debt on Day One by adding your name right now?

The student debt crisis has been especially harmful to Black communities and women -- almost 85% of Black college graduates are burdened with student debt, and women hold two-thirds of our country's $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. And even before the pandemic, 1 in 4 student borrowers were either delinquent or in default on their loans.
The 45 million people shackled with student loan debt have been held back from their dreams for far too long. We need to cancel every penny of student loan debt to help our economy recover from the COVID-19 crisis, begin to close the racial and gender wealth gap, and remove this financial burden once and for all. And Joe Biden will soon have the power to do it.
Add your name next to Ayanna Pressley's and mine to tell Joe Biden to cancel student debt.
