Dear Friends, The student loan debt crisis has ballooned to a daunting $1.7 trillion, preventing generations of Americans from purchasing a home, investing in a business, or supporting their family. This financial burden has been particularly devastating to first-generation students and communities of color. As a member of the Progressive Caucus, we've been calling on President Biden to cancel student debt for months, and I recently joined Maria Teresa at MSNBC to discuss why student debt cancelation is both urgent and necessary.That’s why on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022 at 6:00 pm PST, I will be hosting a free student debt relief workshop on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Please join us as a representative from the Department of Education will help answer any questions you may have. This discussion will help provide clarity on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and how it can benefit you. You must RSVP here to attend. I hope this program will help and please reach out to my office at (213) 481-1425 if you have any questions.
