Brewington said the organization had done more for Black Americans with crippling student loan debt than Biden, who vowed to cancel these debts during his presidential campaign.

According to reports, Biden promised to eliminate student debt for borrowers from private colleges and universities and private HBCU institutions. However, Brewington believes the president can alleviate Black Americans’ financial burden of student debt.

Meanwhile, the Debt Collective has previously worked with other colleges to erase student debt. Blavity reported that the organization and its sister project, the Rolling Jubilee Fund, partnered with Bennett College in May 2022 to cancel $1.7 million for 462 students at the all-female HBCU.
