Voters OPPOSE Trump’s Project 2025 plan to abolish @usedgov. New polling shows it’s wildly unpopular. Families want solutions, not more chaos. #StopProject2025 #EducationNotDebt

When private student loan borrowers fall behind, they are left at the mercy of their lenders and struggle to access relief and justice.

Student debt prevents parents from saving for their childrens' future, forcing their children to take out loans to access higher education and repeat the same harmful cycle.

@Doucette13th @GovNedLamont @MattLesser Thank you and the members of the banking committee for standing with SLF and CT student loan borrowers and helping us make sure we have this important resource! When organized people and legislative champions fight together for people, we win!

[Student Loan Fund @SLFNewHaven]

When organized borrowers show up and demand resources we win! Thank you to @MattLesser for fighting for this for 10 years and giving the rest of the country such an important blue print! and thank you to @Doucette13th and members of the banking committee for standing with us!

[Matt Lesser @MattLesser]

I've been working towards this for 10 years (!) - so glad Connecticut has finally set up this office to support borrowers and grateful to @Doucette13th and @SLFNewHaven for getting it done!

Borrowers have been forced to endure the brunt of MOHELA’s egregious & illegal misconduct. The MOHELA Papers found that 4-in-10 MOHELA borrowers have been harmed. AFT v. MOHELA seeks to make clear that MOHELA violated borrowers’ rights under consumer protection law. 🧵

10. MOHELA misinformed borrowers about their options for more affordable payments and time-limited opportunities for loan relief, forcing borrowers to pay more and remain in debt.

8. MOHELA inaccurately processed PSLF employment certification forms and denied eligible public service workers relief.

9. MOHELA failed to process refunds, accurately track and report borrowers’ payments, and manage borrower records.

"Lamont, a wealthy businessman from Greenwich, insists Connecticut has found the right balance, investing in core programs and fixing decades of fiscal irresponsibility.
