The announcement by the President today is an important step forward in the struggle to cancel student debt, but much more must be done.
In order to show we support canceling ALL student debt, we're releasing a brand-new sticker. Let's send a clear message as to where our movement stands on this issue.
The President's decision today to reduce the outrageous level of student debt in our country is an important step forward in providing real financial help to a struggling middle class.
Today's announcement to reduce up to $10,000 in student debt for working-class Americans and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients will eliminate student debt for some 20 million Americans and reduce debt for some 43 million.
The result of this decision is that millions of Americans will now be in a better position to start families, or buy the homes and cars they have long needed. This is a big deal.
But we have got to do more.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, education – from preschool through graduate school – must be a fundamental right for all, not a privilege for the wealthy few.
In the year 2022, in the wealthiest country on earth, everyone in America who wants a higher education should be able to get that education without going into debt.
Today, we want to send a powerful message that our movement supports canceling ALL student debt. So we're asking:
Chip in ANY amount today to receive our brand-new "Cancel ALL Student Debt" sticker.
Thank you for showing where you stand on this important issue.
In solidarity,
Team Bernie

We hope you'll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on the billionaire class alone.
