College should not be a privilege for those who can afford it. Every young person should have the right to higher education without the massive burdens that keep them from building generational wealth and pursuing their dreams. We believe all public, post-secondary institutions should be free of tuition to all students, regardless of immigration status, and that all current student loan debt should be eliminated, tax-free. Sixty two percent of jobs in Texas require some form of postsecondary education. However, two-thirds of prime working-age adults in Texas lack an associate’s degree or higher, leaving the state far behind other competitive large states in terms of educational attainment.
