Tackle the Student Debt Crisis and Empower Small Businesses

The $1.5 trillion student debt crisis continues to crush millions of Americans and stifle our economy.  Indeed, if you are reading this, you likely know individuals saddled with student debt. 

Small businesses struggle to hire and retain talented employees.  While larger enterprises may be able to make payments towards their employees’ student debt, small businesses are often unable to provide this employee benefit.

The Small Business Advocacy Council strongly supports the Employer Participation in Repayment Act because it will tackle the student debt crisis and level the playing field for small businesses. This commonsense legislation has 59 bipartisan cosponsors in the Senate. It will make a real impact on individuals, families, and small businesses across the United States.

This student debt reducing, small business empowering bill is sitting in the Senate Finance Committee.  By completing the short form on the right, you can directly urge Senator McConnell, Senator Schumer, Senator Grassley and Senator Wyden to pass this legislation out of the Senate Finance Committee and then the Senate. This bill has recently obtained the support of Senator McConnell and Senator Schumer.

We must demand that Washington politicians take a timeout from their partisan bickering and move this legislation forward. Please fill out the short form on this page to contact Senator McConnell, Senator Schumer, Senator Grassley, and Senator Wyden and let them know this is important to you. 

For any questions about this win-win legislation please contact Elliot Richardson or Scott Baskin at Elliot@sbacil.org and Scott@sbacil.org.

Thank you!
