Hi there,
I wanted to share my earlier IG post on student loan cancellation:
And one last note: we can keep pushing. Remember that the Biden administration didn’t want to do this *at all.* It was YOUR pushing, YOUR pressure, YOUR organizing that got them to this point.
They have forgiven far, far more debt for business owners in the form of PPP who didn’t need to meet ANY sort of income requirements or means testing for almost $1 TRILLION in forgiveness. (Mind you, forgiving ALL student debt in the US is about $1.7 trillion — you could undo the 2017 tax cuts for the 1% and forgive all student loans plus have money left over to contribute to universal childcare, tuition free college, homelessness, etc.)
It is now up to us, and to you, to decide if we are going to stop here, or if we are going to keep pushing. I am very grateful for this watershed moment of a first step — it is encouraging, thrilling, and has already changed SO many people’s lives. But I am also thinking about how this still leaves a question mark for those in the highest amounts of debt, who need the most amount of help.
So let’s celebrate and keep going ✊🏽
Alexandria
