It's spooky season, but millions of Americans who have been haunted by student debt for years will be able to shake that scary specter this month now that the student debt cancellation application is live. Briahna speaks to The Debt Collective's Astra Taylor and Sparky Abraham about the status of ongoing lawsuits intended to thwart debt relief, the open application process, and a debt strike for all of those who don't qualify, and who will still have thousands of dollars of debt even after Biden's plan comes into effect. This is one you're going to want to share widely: Comrades don't let comrades leave money on the table.

Okay- this was great! At one point, it was mentioned that no one in the middle of the Dem party will do anything. To Brie's point - why is it NONE of the "Progressives" hollering from the roof tops about this? Cuz AOCIA is too busy talking about War protesters being from the "Wrong" political positions. While NOT answering the question on why SHE keeps voting to fund these War Profiteers and the War Department. Turning herself into a mini-Pelosi sociopath. AOCIA and the Sheepdog Squad are our ENEMIES. Their job is to I herd people to vote against their own interests, provide cover for Biden's Caregivers, and making themselves rich with book deals and merch. Vote Green, Libertarian, Independent, and/or only vote on ballot measures. But supporting these Just'Us Dems with money, votes or time is like cutting your own throat. Great episode Brie! Gonna get my 3 sons to apply asap - if they haven't already!

Hmmm I would encourage you to educate yourself on who student loan debt effects the most. I assure you it is not “a PMC thing.” I won’t bore you with my own story but, if you were in my shoes or those of others scammed by American expectations and then trapped by Senator Biden’s policies, I think you’d perceive this issue very differently. That said, I’m grateful that Brie and these guests who DON’T have student loan debt anymore keep fighting for those that do.

She said her phone died - like literally had to go to phone hospital or phone morgue. So who knows if it'll be available?

Oh wow you didn’t mention that you took out the money because you wanted to be a boss and it didn’t work out for you. Shame

Glad that Debt Collective has done the work it has done. Im sure this ep. will help still more debtors get the relief available, which is great. The thing they never talk about is the joint spousal loan conslidation program. ( no longer offered as it was the most exploitative version of this hugely exploitative sector, but those trapped in that vice have had their lives destroyed. ) one point, Astra T. mentioned that those who can’t be helped enough by the relief discussed herein should not be left behind. i do wish the Debt Collective would amplify their voice and speak about their crisis. This type of loan product is inherently discriminatory based on marital status- not sure why they can’t bring a legal challenge to the ED on it- based on its discriminatory nature. They need yo reach out to these debtors.

Still wonder what will happen to the FEFL loan holders.

Just applied for the cancellation. It was very easy. Thanks for all the great information.

The application WAS super easy for me, someone who grew up with the internet and has easy access to a laptop and internet, although I worry about folks who may have a difficult time either due to disability or a lack of equal access to resources. Crazy to me that the gov't would be willing to drop $100M to exclude as many people as possible. Really hoping 100% of eligible people get their relief!

this is hopefully getting at least mostly fixed now with the law that finally passed and was signed. But bc of timing it's really important for pslf in particular that people stuck in these get their pslf forms submitted asap. Hit me up if you need more info.
