Hey John,

We know that student loan borrowers are as diverse as the country. Black student loan borrowers are burdened by fifty percent more debt than the rest of their graduating class and by 100 percent more debt four years after graduating.

John, can you show up for those whose student loan debt EXCEEDS their income by joining us as a sustainer today? When you do, we'll send you a custom made and limited edition lapel pin.

The president extended the pause on student debt to August 31. That gives President Biden less than 100 days to make good on his promise to cancel student debt or throw 45 million Americans into an economic tailspin.

Black women college graduates shoulder most of the student debt in our country while being paid just 64 cents for every dollar paid to a white man. The current system created the need for Black women to borrow, but not the means to pay, further expanding the racial wealth gap in America. Black women hold 22 percent more debt than white women and 36 percent more than white men. If there was a time to reaffirm our commitment to fighting for economic equity and racial justice, it’s now!

That’s why we are running campaigns to keep the pressure on President Biden to eliminate student loan debt. Pauses are fine, but cancellation is necessary. Join Color Of Change as a monthly donor today and we will send you a lapel pin to display your solidarity with those who are experiencing an insurmountable amount of debt due to inhumane policy. Best of all, these pins are manufactured domestically, union made, and eco-friendly.

Start a monthly donation of $7 or more to power our work and we’ll send you a FREE limited edition #CancelStudentDebt lapel pin as a thank-you gift.

We’ve had enough! John, as the student debt crisis is sending our communities into financial chaos, the stakes have never been higher and the choice has never been more clear. In order to truly build back better with an equitable and just economic recovery from this pandemic, we need universal student debt cancellation. No one should be forced to choose between student loan repayment and putting food on their tables.

Thank you for already being a part of the work we do to move us all forward. Here’s one more step you can take: start a monthly donation of $7 or more and we’ll send you a FREE #CancelStudentDebt lapel pin as a gift to you.
