Friend, we are in a student debt crisis. Our state alone has a total of $34 BILLION in student debt across 804,600 Marylanders. Student debt has become a state and national crisis that is keeping millions of us under a dark cloud. That’s why John King came out as the first current or former U.S. Secretary of Education to call for unilateral cancellation. |

John knows how important education is — his family’s entire trajectory was changed by higher education. Just three generations ago, his great-grandfather was enslaved in a cabin in Gaithersburg, Maryland… only 25 miles from where his family lives today. A generation later his grandmother became one of the first Black women to graduate from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and John went on to serve as U.S. Secretary of Education under our nation’s first Black President. John also knows how difficult student loans can be to recover from — he was still paying his own student loans off when he was U.S. Secretary of Education! Will you join our movement to unilaterally cancel student loans today? — Team King P.S. Check out his newest op-ed on student debt cancellation HERE. |
