For Immediate Release

WASHINGTON, D.C  — Today, the Supreme Court of the United States released their 6-3 decision in Biden v. Nebraska overturning President Biden’s student loan debt relief plan.

Congressman Jamaal Bowman released the following statement in response:

“This morning, the Supreme Court demolished the possibility of financial freedom for 43 million Americans. Republicans have consistently tried to block student loan relief from their constituents while they sit back and have their business loans forgiven. Millions of Americans deserve and would benefit from student debt relief. Black and brown Americans who have experienced the consequences of the racial wealth gap deserve relief. Young people who grew up hearing that education is the key to success and were victimized by predatory loan policies deserve relief. Working Americans who didn’t get the opportunity to finish their degree and don’t benefit from generational wealth deserve relief. Student debt relief is a racial and economic justice issue. The burden that student debt places on families is immense and unforgiving. I will always continue fighting for hard working people who are drowning in debt and to make sure that every person, no matter their background, has access to an affordable, high quality education.”
