This campaign is about reclaiming our power from the billionaires who have stolen it from us, from working families. We will fight. And we will win. Because we love our country the promise it made: The law belongs to us.

[Winston Berkman-Breen @WBerkmanBreen]

Always great working with you, @Foxsquire! 💪🏼

[Jane Fox 🟥 @Foxsquire]

Deeply grateful for the opportunity to work on this piece of student debt scholarship with @WBerkmanBreen. The public defense crisis is indelibly linked to student debt. For our communities to get the advocates they deserve, loans must be cancelled. https://t.co/ynouW1a5QQ

I can’t like this tweet enough.

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

Bigggggg PSA: If your loans have been paused since March 2020 but you made payments, you can request a FULL refund!

This includes ppl who just learned they will get their loans cancelled (via @POTUS’ cancellation, PSLF, PSLF waiver, or IDR waiver).

Over 40 states have stronger consumer protections than #NY. This National Consumer Protection Week we're saying enough is enough! We need to pass the Consumer & Small Business Protection Act NOW! Learn more at https://t.co/9UjYVaZoAW @FairDealNY #NCPW2022

@jdro112 But also…a little bit afraid?

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

In October, @usedgov announced huge changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, temporarily enabling hundreds of thousands of borrowers to access relief after years of broken promises.

Our new memo outlines how ED can fix #PSLF permanently: https://t.co/Q4SFPuRPYE

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

ALERT: the @VAStateCorpComm just issued an order implementing regulations for #Virginia’s new Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights. This is HUGE victory for borrowers and rejects false industry claims.

1. On this Labor Day, a reminder that the FTC Act’s prohibition on unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive practices means that businesses directing these tactics at workers are breaking the law.

[Protect Borrowers @BorrowerJustice]

It’s past time to fix the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness program! Raise your voice: Tell @POTUS to honor the promise made to millions of public service workers and eliminate their student debt. #PSLF

[Eileen Connor @ei_conn]

[Chris Odinet @ChrisOdinet]

Hot off the press! Your favorite law prof trio is in @TheHillOpinion today warning about the coming wave of #loanworkout requests at the end of the various #COVID relief periods & the need for #lenders & @CFPB to get ahead of the game: https://t.co/5xrShHm8ze

[Chris Odinet @ChrisOdinet]

Got it! 218! The @USOCC #TrueLender Rule is repealed (well....once @POTUS signs it). Great job to the wide network of consumer advocates & scholars who made this happen!

[Project on Predatory Student Lending @EdDebtJustice]

The numbers speak for themselves. Cancel ALL the loans for everyone scammed by ITT @usedgov

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 thread by @sheYanigans on an important way to prevent school frauds: certification!!!

[Yan Cao @sheYanigans]

This week, @Cardona finally discharged $500M in fraudulent loans. But why did @usedgov subsidize 10+ years of fraud in the first place? And how can it prevent this from happening again?
