261 organizations representing tens of millions of borrowers, students, workers, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, consumers, and people of faith sent a letter calling on members of Congress to reject Republican efforts to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to retroactively reverse the federal student loan payment pause and block President Biden’s debt relief plan.
