Declaration Project

Higher education should be more attainable to everyone. Education is the sole reason why the American Dream is still deemed as achievable. Without education we would not be as advanced as we are today nor would we be as civilized. I have been able to rise far beyond my means because of it. Getting your education should not be something that you are in debt for your whole life. I urge you to support the upcoming legislation by Bernie Sanders that makes all public colleges and universities tuition free.
