Unlike almost every other kind of debt, student loan debt doesn’t go away with bankruptcy or even death. Student loan debt can’t be re-financed either — like mortgages or business loans. If your son or daughter takes out a loan at 9% interest, that’s for life. Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to change that — and she needs our help! In the next few days, the Senate will vote on her Bank on Students bill, which allows student borrowers to refinance their school loans at lower interest rates.
This past June, the Bank on Students bill fell just 2 votes shy of breaking the Republican’s do-nothing filibuster. [1] So this week, we need all Senators on deck and ready to vote YES.

Stand with Elizabeth Warren and fight back against student debt!
