Tell Congress: Pass tuition-free college -- with wraparound services for those in need -- and finally make Free College for All a reality nationwide now!
The campaign for Free College for All didn’t end when corporate Democrats cut it from the Build Back Better Act, because we won’t stop fighting for it until we win.
To be clear, when we say Free College for All, we’re not just talking about making tuition debt-free. We’re talking about including coverage of critical wraparound services needed to help with the costs of childcare, medical coverage, transportation, and, in some cases, even food for those in need.
Any bill that doesn’t include wraparound services would disproportionately help white middle class students, because it would shut out many students of color who typically face much greater challenges accessing and affording the hidden costs of college not covered by tuition.
The impact is even worse for the undocumented, as they aren’t even eligible for Pell Grants.
Free college without wraparound services isn’t actually free college for all, and not including them would be another example of what systematic racism looks like in public policy.
That’s why we’re demanding Congress pass tuition-free college -- with wraparound services for those in need -- and finally make Free College for All a reality nationwide. Please sign the petition and add your name now!
