"Broad-scale debt cancellation would relieve the majority of our membership – and young people at large – of a crushing burden which has prevented them from reaching critical adult milestones and participating meaningfully in the economy."

[Young Americans @AYAmericans]

Back in May, we wrote to @JoeBiden urging him to cancel at least $50k in student debt/borrower.

It's now August, and payments are set to resume.
Still no action.

@POTUS, young voters are waiting for you to #CancelStudentDebt, broadly and boldly.

[Young Invincibles @YoungInvincible]

The student loan payment pause ends this month. But another payment extension is not enough to address the #StudentDebtCrisis.

Borrowers should not be forced back into repayment while we wait for @POTUS to #CancelStudentDebt.

[Young Americans @AYAmericans]

Hey @POTUS, after we #CancelStudentDebt, we should cancel interest, too.

New @hi_Hildreth report shows how removing the interest obligation on students could provide relief for borrowers + generate revenue for the gov't. https://t.co/Hb0idUcAl6

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

#CancelStudentDebt and decrease the racial wealth gap.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said the federal government will halt new oil and gas leases on public lands in Central California until the potential risks to public health and the environment are adequately assessed.

#ICYMI: The Biden admin has agreed to advance a 300-mile fracked gas pipeline so that @Sen_JoeManchin would support the reconciliation bill.

Real #ClimateAction cannot include any fossil fuel projects. Not now, not ever. #StopMVP https://t.co/dAUBEXbhyi

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Student debt cancellation is an intergenerational issue and @POTUS must #CancelStudentDebt.

[Young Americans @AYAmericans]

The #InflationReductionAct is a huge step forward.

But it's just that: a step.

@POTUS should take the *leap* the world needs by declaring an official #ClimateEmergency and ending all fossil fuel projects, leases, and exports. https://t.co/p00o3pUYwx

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

It's great to see so many state attorneys general stepping up on behalf of their residents!

With this letter, they are joining advocates from across the nation in calling for @POTUS to help borrowers by extending and expanding these changes!

https://t.co/ndGMIHha3D

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

BREAKING: 20 state attorneys general just came together to send a letter to @POTUS urging him to extend & expand temporary changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) student debt program so that more borrowers across the country can benefit!

[Jean Su 蘇安君 @ajeansu]

As we digest the IRA, it's important not to lose sight that @POTUS should be working in concert w/Congress to fight climate chaos.

President Biden should a declare a #ClimateEmergency immediately and unlock all his executive powers to confront the fossil fuel industry head-on.

[melissa “cancelled student debt” byrne @mcbyrne]

Means-testing #CancelStudentDebt is age discrimintory bc wages go up as you work longer, so older borrowers may be hitting $125k income but didn’t have ability to save for retirement or buy a house.

Technocrats- pls just listen to impacted people.

[Young Americans @AYAmericans]

Let’s #CancelStudentDebt @POTUS

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

"No American should have to begin paying back their predatory student loans next month... The American people are anxious... Extending the freeze will only extend the anxiety that millions of Americans feel." @DerrickNAACP

#CancelStudentDebt #StudentDebtCrisis #StopTheDebtTrap

[Young Americans @AYAmericans]

“The department’s plan contemplates that all types of federal student loans would be eligible for loan forgiveness, including Grad and Parent PLUS loans as well as federal loans owned by private entities.”

Just say the word @POTUS. #CancelStudentDebt

Participants in @FFCongress's #YouthCongress also got to learn from an all start panel of our coalition members about the importance of representation + meaningful engagement of young Americans and their career paths in public service as Gen-Zers and young millennials!

yes, it’s not perfect. yes, it still has to pass. but, i think the whole climate movement deserves even just a moment of optimism—it’s not just well-deserved, it’s *needed* to keep on going 💪
