There are a
lot of misconceptions about the student debt crisis in the U.S. — and the
movement to end it. So, we wanted to shed some light on the myths vs. the
realities:

🚫 MYTH — The student loan debt crisis is not really a crisis.
✅ REALITY — More than 44 million people collectively shoulder the burden
of over $1.7 trillion in student debt.

🚫 MYTH — Cancelling student debt would only help a small number of ‘elite’
students who attended Ivy League schools.
✅ REALITY — 49 percent of federal student borrowers attended public
colleges, and only 0.3 percent attended Ivy League schools.

🚫 MYTH — Cancelling student debt has nothing to do with equity and racial
justice.
✅ REALITY — Decades of racist housing, economic, and other policies have
kept Black and Brown families from building generational wealth. As a
result, 85% of Black students have no choice but to take out loans to
attend college and Black women, in particular, have the highest student
loan debt of any racial or economic group.

Ayanna and our movement have been leading the fight to cancel at least
$50,000 in student loan debt, and we will continue to pressure the Biden
Administration to extend this much needed relief to the millions of
Americans saddled with the crushing burden of student loan debt.

And we’re being heard. The
Department of Education just recently extended the pause on student loan
payments until next year, and announced the cancelation of student debt
for over 300,000 borrowers through the Total and Permanent Disability
(TPD) discharge program — now they must take the next step and permanently
cancel at least $50,000 in student loan debt for every borrower.

$3 contribution from you right now will send a powerful
message to the Biden Administration that it’s time to do what’s right and
extend relief to millions of student loan borrowers by cancelling student
loan debt permanently – can you make a $3 contribution now?
