Relief of Student Loan Debt

Action Items:

  1. Listen to people who may be carrying student debt and learn how it affects their lives.
  2. Contact your U.S. Senator and Representative or their staff. Let them know that relief for student debt is important.  Share a story.  Encourage legislative action.
