White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain suggested that Biden may extend the pause as payments are set to resume May 1.
Debt Collective spokesperson Braxton Brewington emphasized that “we want to be clear — a student debt strike is not intentionally defaulting on your loans, but politicizing and collectivizing your refusal to pay by using the tools the Department of Education already provides to student borrowers.”
“The federal government doesn’t need our student debt payments to function, and the last two years have proved that,” Brewington added, “but they do need our cooperation — and they certainly won’t have that.” Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib expressed support for the planned strike, noting that “the road to student debt cancellation is long and hard, and a key aspect is building solidarity amongst students and graduates with debt.”
“The Debt Collective’s Student Debt Strike is an important campaign to help build the mass movement we need to resist and abolish student debt, and there are so many ways to support it without putting yourself in financial jeopardy,” she said. “I stand with Student Debt Strikers and encourage everyone — whether you have debt or not — to join us.”
