An open letter to the President

Support older Americans struggling with student debt

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m contacting you because I’m appalled that millions of Americans approaching retirement age are suffering under the crushing weight of student debt. Healthcare crises, systemic inequities, and predatory lending practices have caused the number of older debtors to skyrocket by over 500 percent over the last two decades. Time is running out—please act now to help working Americans by discharging student debt held by older borrowers.
