A $15 minimum wage is the bare minimum to give people the dignity and security they deserve.

We stand with members of Congress and workers across the country fighting for living wages. ✊ #1U #LCVUnion

I was @ezraklein's last ever interview on @voxdotcom.

We talked about alternate post-neoliberalisms, getting real about power, and @joebiden's superpower: He might be more than a return to normalcy. He might be an avatar for economic transformation.

I made a little visualization dashboard showing how differently income and public flagship university tuition have changed over the past 50 years. In short - university tuition has increased a lot, wages haven’t

[Roosevelt Network @RooseveltNTWRK]

Q3. Share your favorite RN memory!

[Sacha Heymann @SachaHeymann]

It means being inspired! I left every Roosevelt conference or meeting I ever attended feeling so excited to be part of a network of students and young people totally dedicated to fighting for public goods and social justice 😁

[Roosevelt Network @RooseveltNTWRK]

Q2. What does being a Roosevelter mean to you?

[Sacha Heymann @SachaHeymann]

A1. When I got to college, I knew I wanted to get involved with something political, but didn’t know much else. When I found Roosevelt, I found a place that cared first and foremost about enacting change to improve our communities— and a place I could call home.

[Roosevelt Network @RooseveltNTWRK]

Q1. Why did you join the Roosevelt Network?

[Sacha Heymann @SachaHeymann]

Excited to be here! I was part of the Network for 4 years at the University of Michigan, serving as co-president of my chapter in 2017 and as the Midwest Regional Coordinator for two years on our student National Leadership team.

[Roosevelt Network @RooseveltNTWRK]

We are kicking off our 15th Birthday Twitter chat celebration with introductions! Share a bit about yourself and your involvement with the Roosevelt Network here!

[Sacha Heymann @SachaHeymann]

Yup. But let’s not forget that NYC requires students to receive parental/guardian consent before accessing on-site school psychologists, and the barrier than can present for many students. Eliminating that will be key to increase access to mental health care for NYC HS students.
