This is about freedom, economic security, and our future.
John,
ICYMI: Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard arguments on President Biden's plan to deliver critical student debt relief for more than 40 million borrowers. Let us be clear here: SCOTUS must put the American people first and uphold the President's plan to deliver this desparately-needed relief.
Rather than helping our communities, Republicans have predictably chosen to stand with loan companies who have been tirelessly lobbying for payments to resume so they can extract more profit. The same Republicans were pushing to provide massive handouts to corporations during the pandemic, but now they have turned their backs on the American people. Shame on them.
This goes far beyond just the cancellation of this crushing debt that has become a burden to millions across the country: This is about freedom, economic security, and uplifting the futures and lives of working people.
NO ONE should have to take on a crushing amount of debt to pursue a college degree. If you agree with us, can you chip in $3 — or any amount today?

Did you know that more than 90% of student loan borrowers earn less than $75k a year? This is a crisis — even seniors are entering retirement with student debt. And more than 12 million borrowers live in districts represented by the same Republicans who are seeking to deny them relief.
If this Court strikes down President Biden's debt relief proposal, they will be upholding the racial wealth gap that continues to disproportionately hurt and impact Black and Latino borrowers.
We must deliver a bold, transformative economic agenda that will empower future generations — not burden borrowers for decades to come.
We know we've come a long way in our fight to provide for millions of borrowers. And we know we have miles to go so we can continue delivering for working class people and their communities.
Our movement needs your support so we can keep up our fight against the lobbyists and corporations that are standing in the way of progress. Will you pitch in today to stand with the 40 million Americans in need of debt relief?
