Pressure is mounting on the Biden administration to reverse course on
their plan to resume federal student loan payments on February 1 — and
Pramila is at the forefront of that fight in Congress. Just look at what
she told Teen Vogue:
“[The Progressive Caucus has] been pushing the administration for some
time to cancel at least $50,000 in student debt, and the extension of
the moratorium is important. But what we really need to do is student
debt cancellation. We know it will help the economy. We know it will
provide hope to young people across this country and it is the right
thing to do so for all of those reasons. And it's something that is
universally popular, not just with Democrats, but with independents and
Republicans.”
The average student loan borrower saved nearly $400/month during the
COVID-19 payment pause. And when student loan payments restart next year,
75% of borrowers say their finances will take a direct hit.
It’s clear: canceling student loan debt is just the right thing to do.

of 300 donations to help Pramila keep fighting for student debt relief? A
contribution from you today will send a powerful message to the White
House that the time to cancel this burden holding back working people is
now:

If the White House’s plan to resume payments proceeds, folks crushed by
student loan debt — debt that disproportionately affects women and people
of color — will have to start paying again. That will mean picking between
paying their loans and putting food on the table.
After the personal and financial setbacks experienced by so many during
this pandemic and rising concerns over a new COVID variant, now’s not the
time to place more burdens on people.
Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the White House. To lift
people up — and into the future — we need to use that power to deliver on
a transformative economic agenda. One key component to that agenda is
forgiving student debt.

against the lobbyists and corporations who are profiting from student loan
debt. Contribute $3 toward our mid-month goal of 300
donations and help us push President Biden to cancel student loan debt. He
can — and he must.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
