JULY 2023 Update: The Supreme Court has blocked the student loan forgiveness program. While alternatives are being discussed (via the Higher Education Act) to forgive student loan debt, that process will likely take months. At this time, borrowers are scheduled to resume loan payments in October. For more information: https://www.businessinsider.com/who-gets-student-loan-forgiveness-under-biden-new-debt-relief-2023-7

———————————

Student loan debt burdens more than 44 million Americans, and prevents millions from buying homes, starting businesses, saving for retirement, or even starting families. This debt is disproportionately affecting Black families, and Black women in particular.

Two decades after taking out their student loans, the median Black borrower still owes 95% of their debt, whereas the median white borrower has PAID OFF 94% of their debt.

Add your name to show support for the canceling of $50,000 of student loan debt per borrower.
