'As Mayor I've witnessed the toll of this crisis firsthand. Residents in Kansas City have shared the ways student debt is holding them back—unable to purchase homes, save for retirement, start small businesses, contribute to the local economy & even start families.'—Mayor Quinton Lucas

For millions of Americans, particularly Black & brown families like many of Mayor Quinton Lucas's residents, student debt has become a life sentence.

He points out it's even worse that MOHELA can be compensated millions in taxpayer $$ only to fail & deceive borrowers at every turn.
