John,
Every year, millions of young people are forced to make an impossible choice about their future: go to college and take on insurmountable debt OR forgo a college degree and take a gamble on finding a full time job that pays a living wage.
No one can build a future under these choices, especially people from working and low-income families and communities of color. But a new bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Pramila Jayapal would make community college free for everyone and eliminate tuition and fees at public colleges and universities for families making up to $125,000.
The College for All Act would also reduce crushing student loan debt. The bill would cut all student loan interest rates for new borrowers in half; enable existing borrowers to refinance their loans based on the interest rates available to new borrowers. And the best part is, we can finance this by taxing Wall Street.
No matter where you come from, who you are, or how much money you have in your pocket, you should have a future with affordable education, and be able to build a life without crushing debt. We need the College for All Act. Sign the petition demanding Congress pass the College for All Act.

In the wealthiest country in the history of the world, a higher education should be a right for all, not a privilege for the few. We can ensure that every student can make the choice to attend college without taking on massive debt.
The College for All Act will free students from a lifetime of debt, invest in working people, and transform higher education across America.
The time is long overdue to make public colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free for working families. If you want this critical legislation passed, add your name in support of the College for All Act.
In solidarity,
