John,
A few weeks ago, President Biden announced a major move to forgive up to $10,000 of student loan debt (and an additional $10,000 for Pell Grant recipients) and the application has now launched!
To learn more, see if you qualify, and submit your application, go to this link:

Though this has been paused, you can still sign up today. This is a big step toward making our government work for working people. We can definitely do more, but this will help thousands of people in New York and around the country.
As an educator, I'll always fight for affordable higher education. This is a win for those of us who've been on the front lines of advocacy for this issue for years, and I encourage everybody with loans to check if they qualify + apply at this link:

Peace and love,
