Millions of Americans are sinking under the burden of student debt, which is why three administrations have now paused those debts at various points. If we can pause them, we can cancel them. Join the call to President Biden: Cancel Student Debt!

Last week we joined dedicated activists and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley in front of the White House calling upon Joe Biden to do the right thing. Mainstream media continues to perpetuate the toxic narrative that student debt is the privilege of the wealthy. We know that’s a lie and we need your help to counter it. 40% of student borrowers never even finished college, with the majority of student debt in America falling upon the most exploited communities.

The student debt crisis is also an outright assault on Black communities in particular at a time when the racial wealth gap is dramatically widening.¹ For America to have the bright future her citizens deserve, we need an educated workforce we’re investing in, not punishing.

Support our work calling upon President Biden to do the right thing and Cancel Student Debt for all Americans.
