Over 1.2 million supporters signed the original petition urging lawmakers to forgive student debt to stimulate the economy.

Now, lawmakers are responding to your call. Senator Elizabeth Warren has a real plan to end the student debt crisis. We need all of you to voice your support!

ADD YOUR NAME: Student debt forgiveness now and free college for the future.

Background:

America faces a student debt crisis because the government decided instead of treating higher education like our public school system — free and accessible to all Americans — they’d cut taxes for billionaires and big corporations.

The first step in ending this crisis is to deal head-on with the $1.5 trillion in student debt that is weighing down millions of people.

Elizabeth Warren has a transformational  plan that forgives up to $50,000 in student loan debt.

The plan for broad student debt forgiveness will:

• Forgive debt for more than 95% of the nearly 45 million Americans with student loan debt;

• Wipe out student loan debt entirely for more than 75% of the Americans with that debt;

• Substantially increase wealth and reduce wealth gaps for Black and Latinx families;

• Provide an enormous middle-class stimulus that will boost economic growth

Erasing student debt that’s holding down generations of Americans isn’t enough. Step two is creating a tuition and debt free college system that ensures that we never have another student debt crisis again.

The plan for universal free college will:

• Give every American the opportunity to attend a two-year or four-year public college without paying any tuition or fees;

• Make free college truly universal   by making higher education more inclusive to every American, especially lower-income, Black, and Latinx students, without the need to take on debt to cover costs
