Happy Friday!! Take a moment to read the Op-ed I wrote for Teen Vogue (link below) it provides details about Biden's power to cancel student debt. The beauty of being part of @StrikeDebt is we're a union made up of borrowers and allies ready and willing to tell our stories!

The "worthless degree" argument is fascinating to me because education shouldn't be a commodity. We should be able to pursue our interests and passions. Also, social workers, artists, journalists and teachers shouldn't be so devalued in this society. These wages are ridiculous.

Nobody gets "left with the tab" when student debt is cancelled. It doesn't cost taxpayers. This is one of like five raggedy ass arguments conservatives have to rely on to justify disrupting relief for the working class. They just keep repeating it over and over as if it's true.

@ms_livyyy @houdaniii Exactly, also an apology without changed behavior isn't an apology at all and the problem is you kinda have to stick around to see the changed behavior...sometimes it ain't even worth all that time just for the possibility of disappointment.

is this a threat??? look, the word is out that the Dems could discharge ALL federal student debt if they wanted to. restarting payments is punishment at this point - esp towards the most distressed and disenfranchised borrowers.

people be like "noooo, it's IMPOSSIBLE to strike student debt." are ya'll for real? 40% of borrowers opted out of paying back their loans since the end of the pause. it's literally already happening.

why are there so many payday loan places in poor neighborhoods? why is it so easy to get a credit card when you can't afford your healthcare costs? why did the feds allow teens to sign up for a lifetime of debt to pursue higher education? debt is about control.

Debt Forgiveness Is a Core Principle of Christianity

In both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, the Bible is squarely on the side of debtors.

@JAYVERSACE @_k1pepeo IKR...and secondly, we need to STOP. CALLING. BLACK. CHILDREN. BAD. That's internalized racism. Many Black children deal w/ high levels of trauma.

@TorraineWalker I ultimately agree, but the problem is straight Black men RARELY direct that same level of disgust at so called “angry Black women/queers” towards changing their own incredibly oppressive behaviors or calling out their peers.

It always costs WAY less to automatically cancel debts compared to hounding people to pay them back. the government can also immediately cancel ALL fed student loan debt, but they choose to waste money contracting private companies, keeping you on hold or losing your paperwork.

The U.S. government has halted some efforts to collect an estimated $62 billion in past-due pandemic loans made to small businesses, concluding that aggressive attempts to recover the money could cost more than simply writing off the debt

ya'll notice how politicians are announcing medical debt cancellation a lot lately? it's a popular move and a good one. but we can't afford to miss the plot: we don't just want to cancel the debt, we want a healthcare system that doesn't put people in debt in the first place.

Biden's student debt relief plan is legal. One of the reasons why its being brought to SCOTUS next week is because of a network of conservative billionaires. Now why would they want to keep working class Americans cemented in a lifetime of debt? You tell me.

Who's trying to kill your student debt relief? You might have heard that a random, ordinary woman brought the Supreme Court lawsuit to halt debt cancellation. But the truth is that a shady network of conservative billionaires is behind the whole thing.

good morning. the Biden admin threatening to lift the pause on student loan payments in June is a form of economic violence. I'm getting messages from ppl who can't afford to pay an extra $500 a month. for what? a debt that shouldn't & doesn't have to exist?

do you guys ever think about how many of us are working three jobs to pay rent, dealing with depression from crushing student debt, have no savings and barely any of us have access to quality healthcare, but we're told financial success is all about "personal responsibility"?
