PHENOM fights for public higher education because we've listened to your stories. Every time we hear a new story - about debt or poor working conditions or food insecurity -  we become even more committed to our pursuit of justice. It is because your story is powerful.

Your story has the power to humanize funding bills for legislators. Your story can comfort community members, letting them know that they are not alone. Your story boils our fight down to one undeniable truth: people are feeling the impacts of the higher ed crisis.  

Your story is YOUR lived experience, so it can't be wrong. It can answer questions like "who are you?" or "why do you care about public higher ed?" It can speak to your successes or challenges. It can even be your call to action.  

No matter what your story is about, we appreciate your contribution. Thank you for sharing your story with PHENOM.
