@POTUS First, thank you for taking an important first step, but there’s more to do. These predatory loans also harm those with grad student loans. And to assume everyone with grad degrees is living the good life is choosing not to acknowledge reality. Cancel it all #CancelStudentDebt

Debt is a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

cancel medical debt — get rid of all of it

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Biden can erase medical debt held by veterans *just as easily* as he erased student debt. Veterans' medical debt is too held by the federal government. Nonwhite veterans are more likely to to use the VA for healthcare needs. @POTUS should wipe that debt out completely.

@stephaniejonesa Hear Hear!!!!

Biden’s announcement on student debt cancelation didn't achieve a goal — it confirmed a method: Organized debtors have power.

You should all join or financially support @StrikeDebt!

[😡STUDENT DEBT IS A SCAM!😡 @Yogamastafly_]

Student debt is not a mortgage.

SL debt is at>6% predatory interest rate,compounding interest,and there is no collateral. It's imaginary bullshit debt with nothing backing it, while a mortgage is backed by real estate. It can be rented out,inherited,sold. #CancelALLStudentDebt

Good morning. Today would be a great day to cancel medical debt.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

We can win Medicare For All. This is realistic and practical.

“Student loan socialism” I like it.

Once again, judge a policy by its enemies.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

If we canceled all PPP loans, we can cancel all student debt.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Education is a human right, but for too long, our student debt crisis has put it out of reach for millions of people.

Full student debt cancellation will transform lives. Today’s action is a vital first step in our work to achieve racial & economic justice. It won’t be our last.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

If you are getting phone calls with offers to help you with your student loans today they are all scams

Shame in Team Biden for means-testing and income capping this instead of making it simple and automatic. The scammers will have a field day with this.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Student debt cancelation is racial justice. The more debt you cancel, the more you narrow the racial wealth gap.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Black borrowers have nearly twice as much student debt ($52,700) after four years of college as our white peers ($28,000). Student debt cancellation is a racial & economic justice issue. Period.

What would cancelling at least $50k in student debt mean for you?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If SoFI, a student loan refinancing company, could give its CEO a 92% raise last year paying him a grand total of $103 million in compensation and spend $625 million to put its name on the LA Rams football stadium, you know what President Biden can do? Cancel all student debt.

@CBN91097 @POTUS I’m all for canceling credit card debt. I’ve been fortunate enough to pay mine off, but I support relief for others. The rich get richer by pitting us against one another like this

[Michael Cook @mikepcook]

Cancel it all @POTUS. It’s likely your one shot to help millions. And let’s be honest, it’s helps you too #CancelStudentDebt
