The House Education

The House Education & Labor committee recently unanimously passed the College Affordability & Opportunity Act (a.k.a. HEA Reauthorization) onto the House floor. We are expecting a vote on it very soon.

But as we wind down towards the holidays, Congress is out of DC and in your neighborhood! Your Representatives will be in-district until the 3rd of December. This gives you a perfect chance to meet with your Representatives face-to-face. Schedule in-district lobby visits and tell them how YOU are directly affected by the issues. Most legislators don't get the chance to hear students' stories directly so take advantage of this time.
