October 1st. The day student loan payments resume.

Forbes reports, "If millions of borrowers fail to start making their payments again on October 1, it could lead to a cascade of delinquencies and defaults." We have a deadline and it’s coming fast.

That’s why PCCC is working hard alongside Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is leading the fight from Congress, to urge President Biden to act now on student debt cancellation.

Sign the petition: I support canceling $50,000 of debt per borrower and completely relieving tens of millions of Americans from the burden of student loans. (If you have student debt, you can also share the impact this would have on you personally. We’ll deliver petition signatures and your stories to the White House. You can also call the White House directly after you sign.)

Thousands have already signed on and many have shared their stories of why they need relief now:

Akil A. in Louisiana: "It would help me increase my income. I am an amputee with a lot of medical bills. I would be able to pay my bills."

Kisha L. in Pennsylvania: "I would like to be able to buy my Mom and I a house."

Desiree M. in Florida: "My debt is higher than the $50,000 but any help is very appreciated. I would be able to purchase storm windows for our old home to protect us from hurricanes."  

Unfortunately, these stories are very American. In what we call the greatest nation on the planet, Americans shouldn’t be saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt, preventing them from buying their first house, starting their first savings account, or helping their kids go to college.

Sign the petition: I support canceling $50,000 of debt per borrower and completely relieving tens of millions of Americans from the burden of student loans. 

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
