#ICYMI: @EdTrust surveyed nearly 1,300 #BlackBorrowers from across the nation about #StudentDebt. Their experiences highlight why it’s important that Congress and @POTUS #CancelStudentDebt and #DoublePell now. edtrust.org/p/58972

#StudentDebt and abortion restrictions disproportionately harm young people of color, especially Black women. This #BlackHistoryMonth, @POTUS needs to do the right thing and #CancelStudentDebt so that Black families can have a financially secure future. bit.ly/3o1m2ED

This year, #SCOTUS’s decision on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban could overturn #RoevWade, triggering more bans and putting our civil liberties at risk. Confused? @tcorreabuntley & @juli_adhikari got you. #AbortionJustice

Every day, 22 kids & teens are shot. America's youth are tired of thoughts and prayers. The filibuster has prevented Congress from passing life-saving gun violence prevention laws. We must #AbolishTheFilibuster to save lives. #TheFilibusterIsKillingUs thefilibusteriskillingus.com

#FACT: Prosecutors charge Black people with mandatory minimums 65% more often than white people for the same crime. It doesn't have to be this way. If we repeal mandatory minimums, we can #ShrinkTheSystem and end mass incarceration. bit.ly/3fFsL2i

Did you know that Black borrowers are more likely to need to take out loans, borrow more, and take longer to pay off those loans due to the racial wage gap? This is due to systemic racism. Here’s how we can address these issues: bit.ly/3fCh2RV

#BlackHistory Fact: The reproductive justice movement was started by a group of Black women activists in the 1990’s in response to the lack of a reproductive movement that defended the needs of people of color and other marginalized groups. bit.ly/3nHcNZT

20 years after starting college Black borrowers still owe 95% of their debt compared to white borrowers who only owe 6% of their debt. Student debt is a racial justice issue. @POTUS, #CancelStudentDebt.

Black and Brown communities have bore the brunt of environmental injustices for far too long. It’s time the Senate put communities of color first by passing transformative investments in #ClimateAction. bit.ly/3rRTvSR
