"There's a lot of conversations about the problems impacting our communities, but we have to tell young people that they have the power to create the solutions."
The power of the NAACP is as strong as it members and local units. We must go beyond theory and put plans into action to change our communities.

SAVE - SAVING on A VALUABLE EDUCATION
Eligible borrowers can now enroll in a new income-driven repayment plan that could lower their monthly bills and reduce the amount they pay back over the lifetime of their loans. If borrowers APPLY THIS SUMMER, the changes to their bills would take effect before payments resume in October after the years long pandemic pause. Once the plan, which Biden is calling SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education), is fully phased in next year, some people will see their monthly bills cut in half and remaining debt canceled after making at least 10 years of payments.
NAACP Condemns SCOTUS Ruling Rejecting Student Debt Cancellation
"The Supreme Court's decision to strike down the President's student debt program is a clear disregard for what millions of Americans need - especially Black Americans. Despite today's upsetting ruling, we demand that the Biden Administration delivers on the promise of student loan debt relief. Education has long been regarded as a path toward generational wealth, economic liberation, and securing the American dream. Let's be clear - student debt is killing that dream.
