Agenda for Young Georgians is a organizing program of New Georgia Project

Agenda For Young Georgians

Agenda for Young Georgians (AYG) organizes Georgians between the ages of 13-29 to represent the voting and policy needs of Georgia’s youth, and ensure that young Georgians are registered, engaged, informed, and have an activist home. AYG organizes students across the state on their college campuses, at their jobs, and even at the club to fight for the issues important to them and a greater future for Georgia.

C.L.E.A.R. Campaign

C.L.E.A.R. stands for Cancel Loans for Education and Reparations. The C.L.E.A.R. Campaign mobilizes young Georgians—particularly Black and brown young people—to advocate for the cancellation of all student loan debt.

  • Black borrowers taking on 85 percent more student loan debt than their white counterparts,
  • Four years after graduation, nearly half of Black students owe an average of six percent more than they borrowed.
  • 67% of Black registered voters in Georgia believe that student loan debt should be a priority because of its disproportionate impact on Black people

President Biden put forth a plan in 2022 that would cancel up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for everyone else making under $125,000. Now, that plan has been legally challenged, and is currently being heard at the Supreme Court. Canceling student loan debt would decrease the racial wealth gap and help us secure the financial futures we were promised if we got a college education.

Demands

  • The cancelation of all student loan debt for all borrowers.
