This memo makes the political case for action in the face of the unjust Supreme Court ruling in favor of right-wing state officials in Biden v. Nebraska, formally blocking President Biden’s plan to use emergency powers to cancel up to $20,000 for student loan borrowers in the wake of the COVID-19 emergency. Highlighted in this memo is new polling conducted with Data for Progress, revealing, for the first time, broad support for action by the Administration to deliver student debt relief using legal authority not connected to the pandemic and not affected by the high court’s ruling.
