Canceling it. All of it.
Cancel all student debt.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congresswoman Summer L. Lee (PA-12) alongside Representatives Suzanne Bonamici and Janelle Bynum introduced legislation to reestablish the CFPB’s Office for Students and Young Consumers. The release says the office would work with private and federal student loan borrowers, resolve complaints against lenders/servicers/debt collectors, and advocate for borrowers harmed by student debt practices.
The fact sheet lists the College for All Act as a priority and describes it as making public colleges and universities, and many HBCUs/TCUs/MSIs, tuition- and debt-free.
Rep. Lee said that 'Oligarchy is blocking climate justice, racial justice, Medicare for All, Student Loan Forgiveness, worker power, fully funded public schools, fair pay for teachers, and reflective democracy.'
The Congressional Record includes remarks praising Summer Lee and making the case for national student debt cancellation, including that 'The President's authority to cancel student debt is clear.'
Assessments
There is no evidence that all student debt was canceled. The evidence shows Summer Lee publicly supported student loan forgiveness and introduced borrower-protection legislation, which demonstrates meaningful effort and advocacy on the issue. However, the cited actions do not amount to canceling all student debt, nor is there evidence she secured enactment of such a policy. Because she made a serious attempt through advocacy and legislation but the promised outcome was not achieved, the best judgment is never with an effort badge.
