[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see the headline in The Hill: Biden ‘taking a hard
look’ at some student debt forgiveness.
Moments ago, President Biden was asked about canceling student loans and
stated that he is "not considering $50,000 in debt reduction" but is still
looking at debt forgiveness and "will have an answer on that in the next
couple of weeks."
This comes just days after The Washington Post reported that President
Biden met privately with a group of House Dems and "gave his strongest
indication yet that he is poised to take significant action to relieve
student loans, a move that could include canceling tens of thousands of
dollars in debt for some people."
President Biden can’t afford to miss this layup on student loans. And with
the decision actively being discussed in the White House, RIGHT NOW is the
time for the White House to see overwhelming public demand and grassroots
engagement.

debt now. (If you have student debt, tell us the impact it has on your
life and what canceling it would mean to your finances.)
We are in frequent contact with the White House and will keep them updated
as support for this petition grows! We are also informing the media.
The president's approval rating with young voters can improve from its
current 21% if the president delivers on his campaign promise to cancel a
significant amount of student debt.
Fox News and MAGA Republicans will attack no matter what, so the only
variable is how much the president inspires a key part of the Democratic
coalition that ranges from young people to older working families still
drowning in debt.
This decision could determine key races in 2022 and have a major impact on
whether Dems keep control of Congress. New polling conducted by Politico
and Morning Consult released earlier this month showed by a 2-to-1 margin,
voters supported federal forgiveness of at least some student loan debt --
with 64% supporting and just 29% opposing the policy.

big on student debt cancellation now!
People need help. Here are some stories [ [link removed] ]shared by PCCC members:
Logan S. from WV: "I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now. Having that
debt relief would let me open a savings account, or invest money, or put
away for retirement... right now I'm one bad medical bill or broken car
bill from bankruptcy."
Adrienne B. from AR: "I’m 71. Been paying on it for years. Retired on
fixed income. The extra money would mean groceries & utilities."
Lee from OH: "I have $160,000 and I am 73 years old."

Senator Elizabeth Warren has led the fight from Congress to urge the Biden
administration to eliminate $50,000 of student debt per borrower. She
says, "This is the single most powerful executive action President Biden
could take to advance racial equity and give everyone in America a chance
to build a future."
Right now -- while the White House is making the decision -- is the moment
to make our voices heard.
