Student debt has been an albatross around the necks of so many individual Americans, even dragging down the economy at large. At a virtual event Oct. 19, AFT President Randi Weingarten and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) talked about the gravity of this crisis and how we could turn it around if we elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November.
“This election is absolutely critical,” said Jayapal, and thanks to young people, educators and labor unions, student debt is on the agenda. “It is a motivating factor for young voters to hear that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to take on this debt crisis.”
