"I have 3 young children and am a teacher denied PSLF. I cannot afford my student loans nor can my parents who have been helping me. I need IDR to give me a small repayment plan every month."

The system is broken. We need to shut it down.

"Although I am default on my student loans from the 80's, I have paid the off twice over through garnishments. However, the collection agency that now holds my loans informed that I will never pay them off due to the accrual of daily interest."

Collections must end FOREVER.

This is just wrong.

The Dept of Education is preparing for America's 250th anniversary.

- 250 years later, and higher education is still not free.
- 250 years later, and Americans are crushed by student loan debt.

We need debt-free higher education and student debt relief now.

Thinking about student loan refinancing? Remember: private loans have fewer protections, no forgiveness options, and lack repayment plans. Stay informed!

The Dept of Education recently said, "The American Dream begins with education." Now it's time for them to act! Cancel student loans and invest in education. Put your money where your mouth is.

"I am 59 years old with some health challenges. I am still working full time but I don't think I will make it to 70 to retire. Regardless of when I do retire, I don't know how I will be able to afford taking care of myself, and paying student loans." - Borrower in Pennsylvania

"I've never been able to afford making payments. I've never had an income that helps me pay them off at all, and I owe around $50k without interest for my BA and MA. I don't know what I'm going to do now." - Borrower in Maine

Stagnant wages, high payments? The system is broken.
