New Jersey is poised to become the ninth state to ensure immigrant students have equal access to college. Will you join us this Monday in Trenton?
On Monday March 26th, the New Jersey State Senate will vote on two key pieces of legislation to expand access to state financial aid programs to undocumented youth and children of immigrants. S699 and S700 will make college a reality for thousands of students by expanding eligibility for state financial aid to immigrant students and taking away barriers to aid for U.S. born children of immigrants.

Join us for a press conference in advance of the Senate's vote on Monday. We will be joined by the bills' sponsors, and representatives and youth leaders from organizations including Make the Road New Jersey, Wind of the Spirit, New Jersey Policy Perspective, ACLU-NJ, and the Latino Action Network.
