Don’t let right-wing extremists stop you! Enact your backup plan to provide student debt relief!

Last year, corrupt, Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices shamefully ripped President Biden’s student loan relief away from 40 million Americans.
In response, President Biden enacted his "Plan B" to deliver student debt relief, but was again challenged in a lawsuit brought by a coalition of Republican Attorneys General. Their case has no legal standing–even a Republican-appointed judge in Georgia's federal court rebuffed the case and dismissed it last month. Millions of borrowers, including seniors who would have their social security garnished under Trump and victims of for-profit institutions, are counting on relief.
We just have to get loud to make sure that Biden upholds his promises to cancel student debt as soon as possible!

Why is this important?
Time and time again, the far-right majority of the Supreme Court puts special interests and politics ahead of people and above delivering justice under the law.
But we will not be silenced. Millions have had to wait in economic limbo —we will not accept a return to the failed status quo. It’s up to President Biden and his administration to ensure we finally receive promised relief another way.
Student debt fuels economic, gender, and racial inequality. Our persistent racial wealth gap means that students of color, especially those who are Black and brown, are more likely to have student debt, borrow in higher quantities, and face more struggles in repayment.
A higher education should be the key to a better future, instead of a lifetime debt sentence that limits borrowers’ ability to buy homes, start small businesses, and save for retirement, cutting into opportunities for wealth-building over their lifetimes. This is why student loan cancellation is so important.
Republicans and Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices cannot have the last word. We won’t let them win. We have to push back and be in solidarity with each other.
Together, we can keep getting loud to show the President Biden that he has the power to to give millions of Americans the student loan relief they need and deserve. President Biden must cancel student debt via executive order before Trump and Republicans gain control over all three branches of our federal government.
