Student loan forgiveness affects all of us. Rise's CEO, Mary-Pat, has over $63,000 in student loan debt. Her mother also took out Parent PLUS loans. Learn more about Mary-Pat and other student borrowers' stories as we await the SCOTUS decision: bloom.bg/42Osno5

The #SCOTUS decision to reject the independent state legislature theory shows that the extreme majority is increasingly concerned about growing public pressure.  The people are fed up - and Congress must act.  unitedfordemocracy.us/press-releases…

The Supreme Court is launching a series of all-out attacks on youth. We must depoliticize the Court in order to advance equity and justice. Read our full statement with NN4Youth, Rise, @genratify, Gen-Z for Change, Sunrise Movement 🌅, and Voters of Tomorrow.

Mary-Pat Hector, Rise: In two days, the Court – which represents an elite few, has dismantled years of hard work by youth & organizers to fight for student debt forgiveness, equitable access to higher ed & basic rights for all regardless of their sexual orientation.

We are so grateful to be in community with exceptional leaders like Mary-Pat! Kudos to her for stepping into this new role at Rise! We look forward to the magic they’ll create together. 🥳 Learn more about her on our blog: 👇 hope.temple.edu/newsroom/hope-…

As we continue the fight for free higher ed and student debt forgiveness! We want to inform our students and alumni about the best repayment options for them. That’s why we're teaming up with U.S. Department of Education & Civic Nation for the #SaveOnStudentDebt #SavePlan.

We're joining Young Invincibles to chat about the SAVE plan for #StudentDebt cancellation today! Follow along! #TodaysVoicesTues

SAVE is an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan that calculates payments based on a borrower’s income and family size – not their loan balance – and forgives remaining balances after a certain number of years. #TodaysVoicesTues

SAVE is one type of income-driven repayment (IDR) plan. SAVE is not going to replace #StudentDebt cancellation (which is going through a negotiated rulemaking process) - but is an interim solution that will help millions of borrowers as payments return.

Yes - see if you're eligible for SAVE at studentaid.gov/SAVE ! Borrowers already on the old Revised Pay As You Earn or the REPAYE Plan will be put on the SAVE Plan automatically; they won't need to sign up. SAVE replaces REPAYE.

To qualify for the #SAVE Plan, you must have federal student loans (unfortunately, parent plus loans are not eligible). Private loans are not eligible for #SAVE or any other income-driven repayment plans. #TodaysVoicesTues

The November 2024 general election will see the largest Gen Z electorate in history, with over 40M young Americans eligible to vote for the first time. And we're not letting this opportunity pass us by - that’s why we rise. Learn how we're unleashing the #youthwave in 2024.
