Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pressley Call for the Cancellation of Student Loan Debt During the Pandemic

EXCERPT:

PRESSLEY: "If you care about economic recovery post COVID-19, you should care about student debt cancellation. If you care about racial justice, you should care about student debt cancellation because black and Latinx communities, all low-income and people of color, borrow more." 
(...)
OMAR: "It's not just a public health crisis, it's also an economic crisis. We're seeing millions of people who are now without a job, many folks who still are in the process of getting their unemployment benefits, people who are graduating without any foresight onto what their future looks like. While all of that is happening, we have people who still have bills that are piling up."
