Indivisibles,
In just a few weeks, President Biden could make a decision that would help
45 million people and pour billions of dollars into the economy.
Last Monday, at a meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus,
President Biden confirmed that he was looking at options to cancel some
amount of student loan debt. On Thursday, Biden said that a final decision
will be made in the coming weeks.
This is a big moment. If we can support President Biden, and push him to
go even further, we could fundamentally change the reality of overwhelming
debt in this country for 45 million borrowers. There’s been a lot of
research on loan cancellation, and the studies are clear: Universal
student debt cancellation helps address systemic inequality, builds the
middle class (particularly the Black middle class), creates jobs,
increases home-buying rates, and does so much more.
We have a small window of opportunity to uplift Biden for following
through on a major campaign promise. It’s time for us to encourage him to
take bold action at a time when it is sorely needed.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 3 weekly to-dos
1. If your representative is a Democrat, [ [link removed] ]click here to call and urge
them to tell Biden to cancel at least $50,000 in federal student loan
debt. 25% of borrowers who had student debt in 2009 owe more today
than they did 10 years ago. We need to pressure our representatives to
remind Biden that the time is now for bold action.
2. If you have a Democratic senator, [ [link removed] ]click here to call now and urge
them to tell Biden to cancel at least $50,000 in federal student loan
debt. Our senators need to speak up for the roughly 80% of borrowers
who would become debt-free from a $50,000 relief target.
3. If you live in a red state or do not have congressional
representation, [ [link removed] ]click here to call the White House comment line to
urge President Biden to go big and cancel at least $50,000 in federal
student loan debt. Let’s make sure the White House hears directly from
the people that $50,000 of relief is what we need.
P.S. We rely on your support to keep action pages up and running, fund ads
to get the word out, and continue all the work we’re doing this year.
