Another day of students using their voices, and legislators listening! Thank you to the Post-Secondary Education and Lifelong Learning Subcommittee for Passing the #HungerFreeCampus Bill!
Automatic billing of textbooks curbs student and faculty choice and raises costs for students.
We’re glad the @WhiteHouse is taking action to stop this exploitive practice! #TextbookBroke Read more: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

"We cannot confront the climate crisis & ensure a livable future on this planet without leaving fossil fuels in the past. A key step in that transition is saying “no” to any new drilling in our ocean." -@FLOPIRGStudents' @chloemckennaaa #ProtectOurCoast

Inspiring announcement from MA this morning.
Hoping @PresidentFuchs is taking notes. @UF could still pave the way for other Florida Universities to #ActOnClimate by rejecting the fossil fuel plant and committing to 100%.
