***Thanks to Indivisible National for the action***
Student loan payments have been put on pause due to the pandemic, but that is set to expire on May 1. President Biden has the authority to cancel student debt simply with his signature. But he needs to hear from us, and from Members of Congress, that we want him to get it done!
Over the past 20 years, the price of higher education has been on an exponential rise, as has the pressure to get a college degree in order to “stay competitive” in the job market, all while wages have remained stagnant. And let’s not forget that an entire generation spent their formative years fighting against two economic recessions, and the benefits of the current recovery are still not being felt by everyone.
Now, there are nearly 45 million people holding more than $1.8 trillion in student debt. This is why President Biden must cancel at least $50k of student debt now!
