Today, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Joe Biden’s $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan, robbing more than 40 million borrowers of up to $20,000 in student debt relief and denying at least half a million Black borrowers the chance to be completely debt free.
Decisions like this are the inevitable result of a court that has been unduly influenced by wealthy individuals and corporations that funnel resources into dark money groups focused on preserving white privilege.
These same bad actors aren’t stopping at higher education. In the last few years, we’ve seen harmful laws and decisions against Black wealth-building, career advancement and political power — and this student loan decision is the latest attack in that coordinated, ongoing war against Black progress.
