Here’s one big piece of why it would change so many lives for President Biden to #CancelStudentDebt: About 40% of borrowers don't have college diplomas. They’re struggling to pay post-high-school loans on high school graduate incomes, and it's crushing them.
Our system tells students they’ll need some education after high school, but if they don’t come from money, it’ll burden them with debt. That’s no way to build a future. We must #CancelStudentDebt & make technical schools, community colleges, & public universities tuition-free.
Student debt cancellation is not a “nice to have.”
It is a necessary action to relieve millions of borrowers crushed by a nearly $2T crisis, boost our economy & help close the racial wealth gap.
@POTUS, our communities can’t wait for you to #CancelStudentDebt.
A son of Georgia, Dr. King spent his life fighting for economic and racial justice. His fight for equality and dignity lives on in those today who organize for freedom and justice for all.
To truly celebrate his birth on this day in 1929, we must carry out his work.
The ghosts of the confederacy are trying to turn back the clock.
But the spirit of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is alive and well.
We shall overcome.
Look who surprised me at our corporate office. He’s in town for us to honor and celebrate him at the House of Justice in Harlem tonight! Big brother looking GOOD! God Bless Jesse Jackson!✊🏿
If you don’t have a decent home to lay your head in, take a bath, eat a meal with family and friends, a floor to get on your knees in prayer and a neighbor to bike with, you don’t live in America.
Housing. Is. Everything.
@robogamebot The game is unfair and does cheat some players. This is an excellent example. Cars get sped up and others slowed down while competing "head to head". Why can't players compete on equal footing?

Rest In Peace to an #ESSENCE Ageless Beauty, Miss Ida Keeling. At 106, Miss Ida was known for aging gracefully and advocating for healthy living and eating. She told us, " You’re no older than you feel. Stay young. Go on and do something and take your mind off getting old."
Yesterday, Actor/director Lawrence Hilton Jacobs held an intense meeting w/ me about a feature film he’s doing on my life story. We grew up watching each other’s work and he wants to do the human side of my journey.
