A group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill said student debt relief is the key to the American Dream.

Senators including Vermont independent Bernie Sanders and New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, along with a handful of representatives, wrote to the Biden administration affirming continued support for the president’s plan. It comes as the Supreme Court seems likely to sink President Joe Biden’s plan to wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions of Americans.

They said it’s a lifeline for many Black and Latino Americans and it’s an important step to get millions of Americans back on track after the pandemic.

The Supreme Court will likely issue its decision closer to summer.
