Americans across the country owe more than $1.7 trillion in student loans, a number that continues to grow each day as bills are stalled in house. To contextualize the crushing cost of tuition for higher education, the Student Debt Crisis Center turned the most recognizable symbol of college into a wearable price tag. “Major Debt is a unique story-sharing project designed to provoke a meaningful discussion about student debt cancellation. It is our hope that the imagery both highlights the outrageous cost of higher education and empowers students, borrowers and parents to engage with their communities to create solutions that end the student debt crisis once and for all.”
