No Brainers

Smart policy, smart politics from the Democrats, and good work from a coalition of youth groups.

The Democrats have promised to make college affordability legislation one of their "first 100 hours" priorities. This may seem like a "safe" and relatively unimportant initiative, but college unaffordability (and the oppressive debt that comes along with it) is arguably the greatest crisis facing young Americans today.

...

On January 11, a coalition including Campus Progress, Campaign for America's Future, PIRGs, and Rock the Vote will hold National Day to Make College Affordable event in DC and lobby Congress to make good on their promise. To show support, you can join their Facebook group (they already have over 2,700 members and they'll announce their total membership numbers at the event) or you can get directly involved with phone banking and letter writing (email Campus Progress for info at organize@campusprogress.org).

The Facebook group is a fantastic resource, too.
