Katie's recent message on student loan forgiveness and the Supreme Court
We're checking to make sure you caught Katie's recent email on student loan forgiveness and the Supreme Court. We're glad to see the Biden Administration has taken steps to ease the burden on student loan repayment for millions of Americans, but this fight isn't over.
But first: A contribution of $5, $15, or $50 will make a huge difference in whether we're able to hit our fundraising goal this month or risk being outraised by campaigns that have accepted checks from corporate PACs and lobbyists.

Subject: re: student loan forgiveness
I'm deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, but hopeful to see that this fight isn't over.
Whether you went to college or not, whether you took out loans or not, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat: I've never met anyone who doesn't want a stronger, more stable economy. Canceling a portion of student loans is going to help us do that. It will offer a massive boost to our nation's entire economy.
This isn't just a "young person" issue. There are more than one million borrowers who are sixty or older—folks who took out loans to help their kids or grandkids, or who went back to school later in life. In fact, 70% of garnered Social Security goes towards student loan interest and fees (yes, interest and fees, not even the loan itself).
This decision came as the final blow after a week of Supreme Court decisions turning back the clock on equality and threatening the strength of our economy.
This Supreme Court isn't just conservative, it's corrupt. We should expand the court, enforce term limits, work to get politics out of our judicial system, and implement a judicial code of ethics.
This fight isn't over: Can you add your name to my petition to show your support for student loan forgiveness?

Onward,
