California colleges enroll 2 million undergrads in a given year spanning the forests of Arcata to the beaches of La Jolla. We spoke to college students about what issues are important to them and how college has informed their perspectives. @CalMatters https://t.co/w83AgslTCX

Had to give @CalMatters Digital Democracy shoutout this morning when @kcraFitz asked if reporters are using AI to track CA bills.
