Tell President Biden: Cancel All Student Debt!
By canceling $10,000 in student loans for some borrowers (and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients), President Biden has shown he has the power to cancel ALL student debt with an executive order.
Student loans have kept generations of borrowers mired in debt, forcing millions to forgo starting families, achieving financial stability, and building stronger and more secure lives. Student loan debt falls disproportionately on people of color and women, with borrowers at HBCUs graduating with tens of thousands of dollars more in debt than white college graduates.
President Biden’s partial student loan debt forgiveness is a positive step, but it does not go nearly far enough. We must continue to push for a world #WithoutStudentDebt.
Take action now and share what you would do #withoutstudentdebt:
Student loan repayments are set to begin again Jan 1, 2023.
Here's the countdown:

Hello President Biden,
My name is _________ and I am a voter calling from _________.
I am urging you to cancel all student loan debt. You’ve shown you have the authority to cancel student debt via executive order.
$10,000 is a good start, but I urge you to do more.
Too many Americans will still be burdened by student loan debt. And only because they weren’t born into wealthy families but still wanted an education. Going to college should not be a burden the poor have to suffer through for a lifetime – even if the monthly payments are lowered.
A one-time forgiveness is going to leave too many people behind. As your constituent, I urge you to cancel all student debt now! Thank you.

Joe Biden has decided to extend the pause on student loan payments BUT did you know that Joe Biden has the unilateral authority to cancel student loan debt RIGHT NOW?
Follow along as we breakdown how it can be done! #CancelStudentDebt pic.twitter.com/h8ISB8wjP8
If student debt is canceled people will get married, make babies, purchase homes, take a vacation, quit that sucky job and live in their purpose, eat more veggies, grow a garden, adopt a puppy, give more to charity, be less miserable…and rich people will still get richer.

Cancelling student debt is racial justice.

Cancelling up to $50,000 in federal student loan debts would immediately increase the wealth of Black Americans by 40 percent #CancelStudentDebt pic.twitter.com/j2PyteWVx7
