This month, Cori stood on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside
progressive policymakers, advocates — and most importantly — borrowers
being crushed by the burden of student loan debt.

We want to share her powerful words with you:

“As a nurse and a single mother, raising two children, my paycheck
barely covered my monthly expenses before my loans were taken out. I
struggled to put food on the table. I risked eviction every single month
so a multimillion-dollar corporation — the student loan servicer —
including MOHELA themselves could make an extra few hundred dollars out
of my paycheck a month?

So when I defaulted on my loans because my expenses were higher than my
wages, my income taxes were garnished. For several years, I was left to
raise my two babies without receiving the tax benefits needed to help
keep them clothed and fed and housed. No one — not anyone — should have
to have their wages or their taxes garnished because they pursued a
higher education.

You shouldn’t have to choose between student debt, or investing in your
future.

You shouldn’t have to choose between student debt or furthering your
education.

You shouldn’t have to choose between student debt or going to school at
all.

The President has the legal authority to cancel student debt. We demand
that debt relief and we demand it now.

The Supreme Court must see through the falsehoods and look at the facts.
Look outside, look at our faces, hear our cries. We, on behalf of the
over forty million plus federal student loan borrowers, we demand the
Supreme Court upholds the law — and not the fabrications of the far
right.

We know that 1.7 trillion dollar debt crisis won’t solve itself but we
the borrowers, we the advocates, we the policymakers, we the organizers,
we the activists, we the regular everyday folks of this country, we are
united and we are ready to push and push and push until we get that
delivered and get it delivered now.”
