This is the power of the people! We kept the pressure on @POTUS and he listened. Extending the payment pause is a big step in the right direction, but we’re holding him to his promise to #CancelStudentDebt.
Our work is far from over but this win is thanks to YOU!👏👏👏
Today, my Administration is extending the pause on federal student loan repayments for an additional 90 days — through May 1, 2022 — as we manage the ongoing pandemic and further strengthen our economic recovery.
Cancelling student loan debt would allow borrowers to:
✅Buy a home
✅Start a family
✅Save for the future
✅Reinvest in the economy
@POTUS must #CancelStudentDebt

When young people elected Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Democratic majorities to both the House and Senate in 2020, they gave Democrats a mandate to make real, generational change. (1/8)
1/4 Democracy can be the great equalizer, ensuring the equality of all people regardless of race, class or gender. It’s rarely worked that way in our country, though, and definitely doesn’t today.
What the federal Border Patrol did to Haitians seeking refuge in America is dehumanizing & sick.
I can't believe they can have whips in 2021.
Haiti was the first Black nation to rise up & end slavery.
What does it mean that in 2021 this type of monstrous act still happens?

BREAKING: After months of debate, the Texas Senate and House have passed anti-voter Senate Bill 1. It will now head to voter suppressor in chief, Governor Greg Abbott's desk to become law.
But our fight is far from over. #txlege
1/The voter suppression bill passed by Republicans and signed into law by Gov. Abbott today is an attack on every young person and person of color in Texas. https://t.co/SkbCmY5Xms
