DEMOCRACY MAY NOT EXIST, BUT WE’LL MISS IT WHEN IT’S GONE by Astra Taylor
Astra Taylor, author of DEMOCRACY MAY NOT EXIST, BUT WE’LL MISS IT WHEN IT’S GONE, published an essay in the New Yorker titled “How the Biden Administration Can Free Americans from Student Debt,” and published an Op-Ed in the Guardian titled “We’re being told Biden won't be able to achieve much. We must reject that idea.” Taylor also discussed student loan forgiveness with GQ in “How a Group of Student Debtors Took on Their Banks—and Won,” and is featured in MarketWatch’s “President-elect Joe Biden has signaled he’s open to canceling student-loan debt — the question is when and how much,” as well as in two Democracy Now videos: “Astra Taylor: Biden Can Cancel Student Debt on Day One. Movements Must Make Him Do It” and “Astra Taylor: As Trump Tries to Steal Election, We Need to Reform Our ‘Deeply Undemocratic’ System.” Metropolitan Books published the book on May 7, 2019.
