Yes, @SenWarren, we're fired up! #CancelStudentDebt #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@RepPressley

HAPPENING NOW: I’m outside the Supreme Court with @theSBPC, advocates & borrowers to make it plain:

@POTUS' authority to #CancelStudentDebt is clear, and the Court must uphold the law.
