The Debt CollectiveA cool thing that happened in 2022 was that we bought and erased $1.7M of student debt owed by nearly 500 Black women who went to Bennett College in Greensboro, NC.

1.7M ?
But evenly #divided across 500 women that amount is still miniscule compared to most others #studentloans (america f.e.), or am I missing something ?
@alceawisteria $1.7M is all the debt the college had remaining in collections. We cleared it out. We cannot cancel federal student loans because they are owned by the government. That’s why we’ve been pressuring Biden to take action! :)
Ah. that makes sense.
And yes, pressure is needed.
A #country where #dying is the only way to escape #studentloan cannot be #serious.
