Forty-five million Americans are burdened with a collective $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. It is imperative to tell Congress and President Biden that this debt MUST be cancelled.

Student debt cancellation is supported by a majority of Americans and a vast majority of Democrats. It would be a substantial economic stimulus that benefits every corner of the country and Democrats have the power to get it done RIGHT NOW.

The Democrat controlled Congress could pass debt relief through reconciliation.
And President Biden could cancel all student debt with a stroke of a pen via Executive Order.
The question is: Can we apply the pressure to make them do it?

Thomas Gokey is a visual artist, adjunct professor at Syracuse University, and activist. He is an organizer and Co-Founder at Debt Collective, a debtors' union fighting to cancel debts.
