The Debt Collective 🟥 I hit my goal of debt free 2023 minus student loans. Paid off my vehicles, paid off credit cards, paid off other medical debts, saved & invested money, and moved out of my parents home. It's been liberating and now terrifying we still don't know if/when payments will resume.
“It’s certainly upsetting and maddening to be used as a bargaining chip, but that is really just the latest in a long list of insults to our communities... the latest example of what it means to be a sacrifice zone,' said Grace Tuttle Grace Tuttle wdbj7.com/2022/08/02/man…
The student loan payment pause ends this month. But another payment extension is not enough to address the #StudentDebtCrisis .
Borrowers should not be forced back into repayment while we wait for President Biden to #CancelStudentDebt .
Hey President Biden, after we #CancelStudentDebt , we should cancel interest, too.

#ICYMI : The Biden admin has agreed to advance a 300-mile fracked gas pipeline so that Senator Joe Manchin would support the reconciliation bill.
Real #ClimateAction cannot include any fossil fuel projects. Not now, not ever. #StopMVP eenews.net/articles/biden…
Student debt cancellation is an intergenerational issue and President Biden must #CancelStudentDebt .
The #InflationReductionAct is a huge step forward.
But it's just that: a step.
President Biden should take the *leap* the world needs by declaring an official #ClimateEmergency and ending all fossil fuel projects, leases, and exports. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
It's great to see so many state attorneys general stepping up on behalf of their residents!

BREAKING: 20 state attorneys general just came together to send a letter to President Biden urging him to extend & expand temporary changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) student debt program so that more borrowers across the country can benefit!

As we digest the IRA, it's important not to lose sight that President Biden should be working in concert w/Congress to fight climate chaos.
President Biden should a declare a #ClimateEmergency immediately and unlock all his executive powers to confront the fossil fuel industry head-on.
Means-testing #CancelStudentDebt is age discrimintory bc wages go up as you work longer, so older borrowers may be hitting $125k income but didn’t have ability to save for retirement or buy a house.
Technocrats- pls just listen to impacted people.
“The department’s plan contemplates that all types of federal student loans would be eligible for loan forgiveness, including Grad and Parent PLUS loans as well as federal loans owned by private entities.”
Just say the word President Biden. #CancelStudentDebt
