Overturn Trump's Attack on Public Service Loan Forgiveness
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program has long offered a lifeline to Americans who dedicate their careers to public service — teachers, healthcare workers, nonprofit employees, and more. By committing to these fields, borrowers could have their remaining student debt forgiven after years of qualifying payments. Now, that promise is under threat.
Early in his second term, President Trump signed an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to redefine what counts as "public service" under the PSLF program. The new rules, set to take effect July 1, 2026, would give the Secretary of Education the power to strip PSLF eligibility from workers at organizations whose missions are deemed inconsistent with the administration's political priorities. Nonprofits serving immigrants, LGBTQ+ youth, survivors of domestic violence, and organizations focused on racial equity and reproductive health are among those explicitly targeted.
The consequences are far-reaching. More than 2 million student loan borrowers stand to lose eligibility they were previously promised — upending their financial plans and careers. Beyond current borrowers, the chilling effect on future public servants could be severe: if loan forgiveness is no longer a reliable option, fewer people may choose careers in education, social work, or community health, weakening the very institutions our communities depend on.
Congress has the power to stop this. Legislators in both the Senate and House have introduced Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions — S.J.Res. 182 and H.J.Res. 155 — to roll back these changes before they take effect. Call your representatives today and urge them to support these resolutions and defend the integrity of the PSLF program.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. I'm calling to urge {{representative_name}} to support the Congressional Review Act resolution to repeal the Trump administration's changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program — that's H.J.Res. 155 in the House and S.J.Res. 182 in the Senate. These changes would allow the Secretary of Education to strip PSLF eligibility from workers at nonprofits and organizations based purely on their mission — not on whether they serve the public. Over 2 million borrowers who planned their careers around this program could lose the forgiveness they were promised. This isn't just about student debt — it's about protecting the teachers, healthcare workers, and community advocates our neighborhoods rely on. I'm asking {{representative_name}} to stand up for public servants and support the CRA resolution to overturn these changes before they take effect on July 1, 2026.
