    26 Million Eligible for Student Debt Relief
    Overall, more than 40 million borrowers would qualify for the Biden Administration’s debt relief program. Nearly 90% of the benefits of the relief going to out-of-school borrowers would go to those earning less than $75,000 per year. Millions of those borrowers could be experiencing the benefits of that relief today – were it not for lawsuits brought on by elected officials in some of their own states. For more information, visit StudentAid.gov/debtrelief.

    Protect Voting in Georgia!
    After Governor Kemp said that he would not support any new election bills this legislative session, the state House passed HB1464, an omnibus bill that combines many of the worst anti-voting proposals this year. 
     
    This bill includes alarming new provisions that will damage Georgia's already fragile elections infrastructure and, ultimately, hinder Georgian’s freedom to vote. HB1464 will be heard during the Senate Ethics Committee tomorrow.
