The funding stays in place and these programs are safe for now. It took a long time to get here but we finally forced them to listen. Keep watching the budget process because we are not going to let our guard down just yet.

One thousand names are on this list now. It has been exhausting to keep pushing when the walls feel this high, but seeing this count makes me realize I am not fighting alone.

The work ahead is exhausting and some days the silence from the decision makers feels heavy. We are nearing a hundred signatures but we need more momentum to force them to pay attention to these essential programs.

My brother is in GEAR UP and it is the only reason he is excited about his future. Dont take this away from kids who need it.
KEEP THESE PROGRAMS OPEN. They help people who actually want to work hard and succeed.
So many families depend on this support. Very short sighted to slash the budget.
Education is the only way out of poverty! why would you cut the very programs that help kids get there.
TRiO changed my life. Period. Stop cutting funding for programs that actually work.

These programs gave me the tools to actually make it to college. Without this help I would have been lost.
