The Project has prosecuted landmark litigation holding corporations and the government accountable for abusive and discriminatory actions and policies that harm students from communities historically excluded from the benefits of higher education. To date, the Project has won cancellation of over $30 billion in student debt for over 2 million former students located throughout the United States.
