🚨 COLLEGE IS NOW FREE FOR FOSTER YOUTH ACROSS CA! California’s Senate Bill 307 signed into budget by Governor Gavin Newsom yesterday makes college debt free for foster youth. I got a text from the author of the bill State Senator Angelique Ashby yesterday letting me know that our bill had been signed into effect and that college is now free for all foster youth across California who want to pursue a higher education. I spoke with @cbs8 about the historic passage and how it will be a game changer for foster youth across CA. I was glad to be one of the leaders pushing for this bill’s passage in the Assembly, Senate and to be signed by the Governor. This is a major step forward in addressing college debt among a population that has already struggled attending college. Only 10% of foster youth attend college and only 2% actually graduate. Paying for lodging and college itself has been a major burden and hopefully this will ease that burden and inspire more foster youth to now pursue a higher education at our UC’s and community colleges. We are not done fighting for our foster youth. There’s much more work to do. This is a great step. #fosteryouth #freecollegeforfosterkids #college #california
