There’s one key to solving all the problems that our generation cares about: the #ForThePeopleAct. Young people understand that our government isn’t working for us, and we’re going to change that. Follow us, take the pledge, and contact your Senator at https://t.co/zxEksO7825!

BREAKING: The @JoeBiden administration indicated that the @POTUS is actively considering whether to enact widespread student loan forgiveness of up to $50,000.

Freedom can't wait.
@POTUS has the authority to cancel student loan debt and unshackle so many from this economic burden. The time to act is now. https://t.co/m9R3mRaf2q
A year of paused #studentloan payments changed the lives of many Americans - and it shows what could be if we permanently #cancelstudentdebt.

think of how many people you know who had to make a shitty choice wrt college because of tuition costs. think of the stress you had in applying to scholarships. think of the passions you've had to reject because "they wouldn't make money." do you feel any of those? fill this out!

Hi! I'm Brenna (she/they), I'm a 3rd-year student at Grinnell College, and I’ve been organizing with @IAStudentAction for almost two years.
I'm taking over the Student Action twitter this week, and I wanted to share why I'm organizing for #FreeCollege and a #DebtFreeFuture 1/6
I've spent the last 2 years fighting to build the power I need, but I've been told I'm not allowed to have.
Want to win free college with me?

As a @ChiPubSchools grad, I know this is bigger than just higher ed. The entire US edu system is culpable and rife with racism & for-profit exploitation.
White, rich students don't have to worry about working 3 jobs or committing to military service to afford a basic human right
"Navient mishandled loan payments, buried critical information in fine print & set obstacles for borrowers* trying to release co-signers from their loans, among other failings."
*borrowers as young as 17-18 yrs old
@teachcardona this is not okay.
White Wall Street CEOs who benefit from our communities' pain want us to hide our stories because they know they are CULPABLE for our hardship.
This white man's is John F. Remondi - @Navient CEO cheated $22.3mil from students like you & me

The current story around the #studentdebtcrisis blames debt on individuals – as someone whose family has both student & medical debt, I know the shame and isolation that many whose lives are shackled to debt feel.
You aren't alone in debt. Debt is systemic, not personal failure.
I'm leading this project! It's a 5 minute form and so so important to making sure people in power learns to empathize with our lived experiences of violence under the current #studentdebtcrisis and broader higher edu system.

@teachcardona@potus What's the hold-up? Our generation's livelihoods are on the line.
