Vote yes on S.J.Res. 182 — the Senate vote is scheduled for Wednesday, and this cannot wait. Trump's executive order lets Education Secretary Linda McMahon redefine "public service" to exclude organizations whose values conflict with his political agenda. Nonprofits serving immigrants, LGBTQ+ youth, survivors of gender-based violence, and reproductive health patients are all on the chopping block. That's not a policy adjustment — it's ideological gatekeeping of a program people built their careers around.
Over 2 million student-loan borrowers are at risk. These are teachers, social workers, nurses, and advocates who chose lower-paying public service careers specifically because PSLF existed. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, and will apply even to borrowers already on track for forgiveness. The Congressional Review Act exists precisely for moments like this — to check executive overreach before it causes irreversible harm. Support S.J.Res. 182 in the Senate and H.J.Res. 155 in the House.
