Education & Labor committee

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

Leadership

Perfect for learning the basics of building student power - strategy, planning, leadership development, volunteer recruitment, electoral engagement, and direct action organizing - the EAT and the GROW empowers students to make change on the campus, state, and federal level.

Leadership

As a national student run and led organization, the power of USSA lies within our membership. Every year, students across the country come together at USSA's National Student Congress to elect it's leadership and national priorities for the coming year

Students across the country

We want to make sure that the new Congress continues on the path to make education for all students a priority.
However, there are those who did not want this paramount legislation for students to pass. Our opposition, although unsuccessful, has access to many resources and has kept this legislation from passing for years.
That's why now, more than ever we need your continued support to make progress for students across the country. Please take a moment to join our cause, by clicking this link you will stand with 1,000s of other students and allys in the national student movement.

Final stages

We want to congratulate all of you! Moments like this don't happen that often and we know how much it means to everyone who has worked so hard to pass this legislation. Thank you. Procedurally, the legislation will now move to the President to sign into law or veto and we will keep you updated as this process reaches its final stages.

Training

Since 18 year olds won the right to vote, USSA has been helping students make their voice heard at the ballot box. One way that we do that is the Electoral Action Training (EAT). The EAT teaches to build strong non-partisan coalitions that will run voter registration, education, and get out the vote campaigns on their campus
