SIGN NOW: END THE STUDENT LOAN TRAP

All Current and Future Members of Congress

There is a growing movement to make college a tuition-free, universal public good—just like elementary, middle and high school. When we all have access to education, we all benefit.

But while we fight for tuition-free college, we can’t turn our backs on the people who have been trapped by student debt. These people worked hard, played by the rules, and were victimized by predatory lenders. More than 173,000 Americans have seen Social Security checks garnished to pay for student loan debts.

The student loan trap isn’t just harming individualsit is smothering our whole economy.

Studies have shown that cancelling existing student loan debt would save the average borrower aged 20-30 more than $4,000 per year, putting that money back into the economy and creating millions of jobs. We can’t afford not to cancel all student debt, and then make sure the student loan trap is closed for good.

The student loan trap doesn’t just harm individuals—it is smothering our entire economy. Studies have shown that cancelling existing student loan debt would save the average 20-to-30 year old borrower more than $4,000 per year, putting that money back into the economy and creating millions of jobs. We can’t afford not to cancel all student debt, and close the student loan trap for good. It is time to cancel all student debt.
