[2]TIMELINE: Student debt history, from Warren to Biden.

Reports are swirling about an imminent announcement on student debt
cancellation!

Conservatives and powerful corporate interests are trying to goad Biden
and the White House away from boldness by launching a barrage of
misleading attacks.

They know that bold action by the White House that liberates millions of
people from the downward spiral of debt could also unleash millions of new
votes for Democrats in 2022 -- while timid action will do less.

We're fighting back by reminding the White House that cancelling student
debt represents Democratic UNITY around POPULAR ideas. See our timeline
below of how it became so popular -- from Senator Warren introducing the
idea to candidate Joe Biden campaigning on it.

You can help. Forward this email to others and [ [link removed] ]click here to RT our
Twitter timeline below so voters, reporters, and the White House get the
reminder. 

And, [ [link removed] ]chip in here to P Street, our progressive lobbying shop that has
been working behind the scenes to get this done.
