Student loan debt can follow families for generations.

The final installment of MDC's three-part op-ed series on student loan debt is now published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. MDC's Harrison Dale, Jenna Bryant, Sabrina McGee, and Phillip Sheldon examine how student loan debt intersects with the racial wealth gap and economic mobility, and why state-level borrower protections matter. From North Carolina to Tennessee to Georgia, MDC is continuing the conversation about student loan debt and what practical solutions can mean for families and communities across the South. 🔗 Read the AJC column at the link in our bio. #StudentLoanDebt #EconomicMobility #RacialWealthGap #TheSouth
