For years, we have faced a student loan crisis, one that has held back our economy and crushed millions of American families.
This heavy debt burden has led to defaults, loan balances that never shrink, homes that cannot be purchased, marriages and families that are delayed, retirements that are not saved for, and college funds that remain unfunded. This situation is worse for educators of color, widening inequality across the education system.
Educators can take action now for themselves, for their coworkers, and for future educators.
During this event, experts will present the tools and knowledge to help you:
- Lower your student loan payments before the payment suspension expires in September 2020;
- Fight for broader suspension and loan cancellation in current COVID relief legislation;
- Put yourself on the path to get your current debt canceled under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs.
