We were inspired by a Grassroots organization called, ACT Now, to make higher education more accessible and affordable for all Americans by decreasing college tuition rates. ACT Now helps all future students by "restoring the American Dream of higher education that is secured by lowering tuition, a central component of dramatically reducing student debt." (Toscano, 2017).
"No one disputes that a college degree is now the “new high school” necessary to succeed in today’s job market, or that an educated society is crucial to our country’s ability to compete in the diversified, global economy of tomorrow." - ACT Now
By signing this petition you would be helping to create an equal opportunity for all Americans to have access to a higher level of education, and a better future. ACT NOW!!

The stories shared by those who signed this petition remind me that the burden of tuition impacts lives far beyond the classroom. I am currently reaching out to policy experts to understand how we can turn this groundswell of interest into tangible reform.

Seeing this movement grow confirms that the struggle to afford a degree is a shared burden across the country. This momentum shows that people are ready to move past the status quo in favor of a more accessible future for our students.
