John,
About 45 million Americans owe $1.6 trillion in student loans. The student debt crisis on top of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impacts are disastrous for working families and our economy.
Joe Biden will have the ability to cancel billions in student debt on his very first day in office; which is why we’re joining Ayanna, AOC, Ilhan, Rashida, and many more progressive leaders to send petitions to Joe Biden calling on him to cancel student debt.
Tell Joe Biden: Cancel Student Debt
Cancelling student debt is an issue of economic and racial justice. More than 86% of Black college graduates are forced to take out student loans to pay for their education and borrow more than their white peers.
By eliminating student debt we will put money back into the pockets of those who need it most, reduce the racial-wealth gap, and help stimulate our economy.
Thank you so much for joining us and making your voice heard,
Justice Democrats
