John,

The student debt crisis in this country is robbing a generation of their future. Our current education system sets students up to fail by forcing people to seek higher education and then punishing them with crushing student loans that make it nearly impossible to afford housing or groceries or medical bills for years on end. That’s just wrong.

Over 45 million Americans owe more than $1,625,300,000,000 in student debt. I happen to be one of them. Maybe you are too. What should we do about it? Cancel it ALL.

Bernie Sanders, along with DFA- backed candidates, Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal just proposed their bold plan to eliminate ALL student debt and guarantee college as a right for everyone.

Even better?

Wall Street is going to foot the bill. Through a small sales tax on Wall Street trades, our government could gain billions of dollars to make public colleges and universities completely and totally free.

Will you join DFA, Bernie, Ilhan, and Pramila by becoming a citizen co-sponsor of the College for All plan? The more support we have, the more likely it will become a reality. Help us get this bill through Congress by signing your name now.

We shouldn’t be punishing young people for seeking a higher education. Education should be available and accessible to all those who want it -- no matter your race, gender, zip code, or income.

Let’s do this.
