My opponents served Sacramento in public office as our housing & homelessness crisis went from bad to worse. We need change, not more of the same.

@DrTammeil @DrPamLuster @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures A debt free #highered system that welcomes & supports all students, designed to advance their academic, career & personal dreams & prepare them to lead in a truly multicultural multiracial democracy. Inter-generational activism gives me hope for this future. #EquityChat

[Guillermo Mayer @memomayer]

@DrPamLuster @DrTammeil @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures I listen to my colleagues, who partner directly with student-led groups, and to trusted partners like @CollegeOpp @EdTrustWest @TICAS_org @CalCompetes @SMAC @A2MEND2006 @Umoja_edu. We are part of an ecosystem with admin, faculty, policy makers, researchers & advocates #EquityChat

@Iamkeithcurry @DrPamLuster @DrTammeil @CollegeFutures (3/4) In #highed many barriers also remain. That’s why we are enforcing equitable placement in transfer-level, college courses for community college students, ensuring students are no longer subject to arbitrary placement tests & advocating for greater affordability.

[Guillermo Mayer @memomayer]

@DrTammeil @castudentaid @DrPamLuster @Iamkeithcurry (2/3) We need to think about affordability beyond the financial aid check. For ex: most college students are renters. College would be more affordable if cities adopted pro-tenant policies like rent control. A rent controlled apartment saves a student thousands $$$.

[Guillermo Mayer @memomayer]

@DrTammeil @castudentaid @DrPamLuster @Iamkeithcurry (1/3) By working to simplify and expand the #CalGrant program & advocating for solutions addressing the total cost of attendance, such as housing, food, transportation & other basic needs.

[Guillermo Mayer @memomayer]

@DrPamLuster @publicadvocates @DrTammeil @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures (1/2) Our model @publicadvocates is to work w/impacted communities to elevate their voice & shape public policy. In #highered that means partnering with w/BIPOC college students, student-led orgs & student leaders like @SMAC to understand barriers & needs.

[Equity Avengers @equityavengers]

Next week on #EquityChat! @memomayer, President & CEO of @publicadvocates, will share his stories and their important work with the #EquityAvengersCommunity. Don't miss it! 11/15 at 5pm PT! @DrTammeil @Iamkeithcurry @DrPamLuster @equityavengers

@_missblen Great points Marjorie. Looking forward to reading more about your research.

[JetaunStevens @JetaunStevens]

A stark reminder of how critical the State’s investments in affordable student housing are.

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Awful story about UC Davis students camping out overnight in freezing weather to get in line to for a student housing lease for NEXT YEAR. And many of them didn't get it https://t.co/hl3mCrhxSK

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Hands down the best story I've read on the student debt crisis. Historically informed journalism. “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education.” https://t.co/pCxcYzGRb8

[JetaunStevens @JetaunStevens]

@ASM_Irwin And thank you to the team @MoorparkCollege! Not only are they excelling at equitable placement, but they have an awesome teaching zoo! One of only two in the country. Highly recommend a visit!

[JetaunStevens @JetaunStevens]

I was honored to join @ASM_Irwin and our equity partners yesterday to celebrate #AB1705. This victory was not possible without the student leaders. I got to say a little bit about that. If you have 4 mins to spare; check it out. 🧵

[Public Advocates Inc @publicadvocates]

🎤PA Senior Staff Attorney @JetaunStevens joined Assemblymember @jacquiirwin & partners @EdTrustWest @CollegeOpp @OfficialVCCCD @MoorparkCollege @DrSokenuMC to speak out about making rights real for students with the passage of #AB1705. 👀👇🏽

[JetaunStevens @JetaunStevens]

@ASM_Irwin Speaking of 4 mins; I really was only supposed to speak for 2 😬🫣 (sorry, Joel!) so I didn't get a chance to give kudos to the other folks I got to work alongside to make this victory happen. I learned so much from all of you!

[Campaign for College @CollegeOpp]

Student leaders, both former and current, have been at the forefront of leading equitable placement across the @CalCommColleges. We are grateful to these leaders for breaking barriers for generations of CA students with #AB1705!
