Our local and national economies are suffering because of student loan debt. Black, Latinx, and Native American students are disproportionately impacted by debt-financing for higher education. Low-income students graduate with higher debt totals than higher-income peers. More and more students are priced out of their education and forced to work multiple jobs because of their debt. Others never even get to enroll. It is shameful that our government elected to consign entire generations to financial burden and indebtedness rather than guarantee everyone’s right to an education. This is unjust. The solution is simple. President Biden already has the legal authority to immediately cancel all student debt– with the stroke of a pen. He can free millions of Americans from crushing debt today. He doesn’t need Congress’ approval; he needs the political will to act. It’s up to us to make him. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-joe-biden-cancel-student-debt-today
