I want to possibly get a PhD. I love learning. I love being at school. I want to make sure that I have the chance to further my education. It will be amazing for me, life-changing almost,\u201d she said of Biden\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>She and several others plan to camp outside in the rain in the lead up to tomorrow morning\u2019s \u201cPeople\u2019s Rally,\u201d which was planned by more than 20 national organizations, including the NAACP, Debt Collective and New Georgia Project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe People\u2019s Rally for Student Debt Cancellation is a powerful expression of our collective will to create a more just and equitable future. By coming together we can ensure that the voices of those most affected by student debt are heard and that policymakers are able to take action,\u201d said Natalia Abrams, president and founder of the Student Debt Crisis Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rally will kick off two hours before oral arguments begin at 10 a.m., when the federal government will attempt to fend off two groups of challengers to the debt relief plan: six Republican-led states and two individual borrowers who did not qualify for the full $20,000 in relief.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Both groups contend the Biden administration overstepped its authority, but the case could also hinge on whether the justices believe the challengers have legal standing.<\/p>\n<p>Kicking off the campout as the sun set on Monday, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), the first Generation Z member of Congress, told the largely young crowd that they were who the country needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m optimistic because I need to be, but I mean, we\u2019ve seen the court come up with some disastrous decisions over the, obviously, the past year,\u201d Frost said in an interview after his speech. \u201cAnd so I hold optimism because we have to in this moment, and I\u2019m hoping they won\u2019t let us down. But I mean, we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Frost was one of a handful of Democratic lawmakers to join the demonstrators in front of the court building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is a key to racial and economic justice for so many Americans, yet it remains locked in an ivory tower,\u201d Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) later told the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Those protesting say they represent the 44 million student loan borrowers who will be impacted by these oral arguments and the court\u2019s decision in these cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Mykeisha Wells, a University of Michigan graduate student more than $60,000 in debt who attended Monday night\u2019s rally, said it marked the first time she had taken part in a political demonstration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelieving up to $20,000 in debt is really significant for me, thinking about the future that I want to have: buying a house, creating generational wealth for my children,\u201d Wells said.<\/p>\n<p>The support for the student debt relief has largely been divided along partisan lines, with Democrats energetic for the cause and Republicans deeming the relief as unfair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In a poll last August after Biden announced his plan, 80 percent of Democrats said they supported it, while 71 percent of Republicans were opposed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTens of millions of Americans are counting on President Biden to swiftly deliver the financial relief they were promised and already <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved for,\u201d said Braxton Brewington, spokesperson for the Debt Collective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no sound legal reasoning for the Supreme Court to knock down relief, but should they overstep, Biden needs to use other legal tools at his disposal to deliver relief,\u201d he continued. \u201cTrillions of dollars in student debt is a massive weight dragging borrowers down \u2014 that\u2019s why we\u2019re showing up to the court in droves.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Republicans have gone on the attack, arguing it\u2019s not right to use taxpayer money from individuals who never went to school or already paid off their debts to relieve others\u2019 debts. The GOP also argues the plan does not help the root cause of high college debt: college tuition prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats say the relief would be a great help to millions of middle- and lower-class Americans who struggle to pay their student loan debt every month. Its success would also fulfill one of Biden\u2019s major campaign promises.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to keep pushing and applying pressure after oral arguments are over and once we get a decision. One does not stop here,\u201d said Maggie Bell, lead organizer for the New Georgia Project, one of the groups organizing Tuesday\u2019s demonstrations. \u201cTen-thousand dollars or $20,000 of cancellation and relief is helpful but it does not fulfill our demand, right. And so we see this as the first step. But we are definitely going to keep applying pressure on leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
