On today’s Your Call at 10am PT, we’ll discuss America’s student debt crisis. Around 45 million borrowers owe a collective $1.7 trillion in student debt.

While federal student loan payments and interest are on pause until January 31, 2022, progressive Democrats and student loan borrower advocacy groups are still urging President Biden to cancel $50,0000 or more in student debt for every borrower. That plan would make 36 million borrowers debt-free.

What will it take to forgive student debt? We’ll be joined by:

• Natalia Abrams, president and co-founder of StudentDebtCrisis, a non-profit organization dedicated to student loan debt reform
• Whitney Barkley-Denney, Senior Policy Counsel at the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit research and policy group whose purpose is to push for policies that curb predatory lending
