.@RepSaraJacobs @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein we need your support to #DoublePell because anyone who wants to attend college and needs financial support to do so should receive it. Can we count on you? #PellGrant #UC4Pell
The #PellGrant is the main way the federal government helps low-income students afford college, but today it only covers 28% of the cost to attend a 4-year public university. We need Congress to reinvest! Add your name to help us #DoublePell. #UC4Pell bityl.co/5Uu7

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Take a moment to remember the 37 transgender and gender-nonconforming people killed in acts of violence this year. We must do more to prevent these murders, especially among Black and brown trans women. #TDOR
.@SenKamalaHarris, in addition to academic and cultural benefits, #IntlStudents bring $6.6 billion and 69,154 jobs to California, but their numbers are declining. Will you let #IntlStudents know #YouAreWelcomeHere and they're #WelcomeToSucceed? #IEW2020

To save jobs and preserve vital #StudyAbroad programs that equip today's students with the tools to tackle the global challenges of the future, @SenFeinstein @SenKamalaHarris, support @NAFSA's #intled asks in the next #COVID19 stimulus bill. nafsa.org/sites/default/file…

International students are a vital part of our communities and schools. It’s outrageous they are being threatened with deportation in the midst of a public health crisis. @DianneFeinstein and I are calling on @ICEgov to withdraw this despicable proposal immediately.
A projected 25% decline in fall '20 #intlstudent enrollment would = a loss of ~$10 billion & 114,000 jobs. The #StudentBan will deepen that decline. The U.S. can't afford the loss of jobs & innovation.@RepBarbaraLee, urge @DHSGov to rescind the #StudentBan.

.@repbarbaralee, #IntlEd is key to U.S. #HigherEd, jobs, & tomorrow's workforce. #COVID19 will cost the field $4.5+ billion & 10k's of jobs. Support direct funding & policy changes as described by @NAFSA to ensure its recovery: bit.ly/2TmGss4
