Let's make sure to share this petition, your heart must believe in what it details. This is a time for activism on so many different fronts, so urge your to take the time to not only click the share button but to reflect on how school loans force poor students to make decisions that they must and one that becomes a gamble to improve the life they were born into. Help me defeat poverty! today! no excuses! 

As of early 2020, American students were on the hook for approximately $1.6 trillion in student loans. The average borrower owed between $25,000 and $35,000, up significantly from past decades. With that much money on the line, it's reasonable to be curious about who might ultimately receive all those principal and interest payments. While $1.6 trillion may be a significant liability for the borrowers, it can be an even bigger asset for creditors.

Antagonist= international banks, quasi-governmental bodies (i.e. Sallie Mae *we all know the name)
