Illinois residents: here’s two simple things you can do right now to support college in prison in IL by helping end the ban on student aid (MAP grants):
1. Sign the letter at www.backonthemapil.org
2. By 4pm central time today: sign a witness slip: my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/...

Grateful to @ltgovstratton.illinois.gov her team, and ICJIA for putting on this gathering. She reminded us not be problem lovers 💯
It was important to bring stakeholders together for solutions to push IL forward to grow this field. We have some ways to go but we know what we need to do to get there.
