Some people respond to the idea of canceling student debt with the idea that borrowers made a bad choice to take on debt.

No. We forced their hand.

We tell people the only path to success is a degree, that the debt is worth it.

We shame people without degrees.
We treat retail and service workers like they are less than human. We argue that people without degrees don’t deserve a living wage because they are “unskilled.”

We give poor students a choice—take on the debt or be looked down upon.
Until we respect ALL workers...

Until people who work full time can actually afford to support their families...

Until the cost of college stops skyrocketing, we need a solution for those who can’t afford a degree, or we are just increasing the wealth gap.
We give corporations huge tax breaks, we can afford to give hardworking Americans a break too.

We can afford to relieve the burden of student debt.
