John, join us this week!

We are in a massive student debt crisis. $1.7 trillion is owed by 44 million people across the country, disproportionately impacting Black and Brown youth. That’s why we launched Dreams Not Debt - our campaign to put pressure on President Biden to deliver on his campaign promise to forgive student loans and take even bolder steps to address the student debt crisis. Dreams Not Debt also invites student loan borrowers to tell us their dreams of a future without student debt holding them back. Will you join us?

All week, we’re taking action to tell President Biden to cancel student debt because young people deserve a debt-free future. Here’s a sneak peek at the Dreams Not Debt Week of Action.

PICK UP THE PEN, JOE: April 4th Day of Action for Student Debt Cancellation The Alliance team is hitting the streets! This afternoon, we’re joining our friends at Debt Collective alongside our network organizations Ohio Student Association and Virginia Student Power Network in Washington D.C. in front of the Department of Education for a Student Debt Cancellation Action!

What does a future free of student debt look like? You tell us. Join us for a Twitter Chat on Tuesday, April 5th at 2:00pm ET to share your thoughts about the effects of the student debt crisis and how we can create a debt-free future.

Community Dreams: On Wednesday, April 6th check out the Alliance blog for updates on how our network organizers are fighting to change the policy landscape for education at every level. 

We’ll be highlighting some of our student debt stories on our social media on Thursday, April 7th. 

Whether you currently have student debt or are worried about future student debt, we want to hear your story. Stories are a powerful tool in the fight to pressure elected officials to take action.

Sign the petition.

A problem as massive as the student debt crisis requires bold solutions. That’s why we’re calling the Biden Administration to:

• Take bolder steps in addressing the student debt crisis by canceling all current student debt
• Reform the student loan program to mitigate future student debt
• Make public colleges and universities free for all students

Stay updated by following the Alliance on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! And when you participate in these events throughout the week, don’t forget to tag us and hashtag #DreamsNotDebt. 

Here’s to a debt-free future,
