Tom’s College Campus Tour ‘17
In just the past five days, Tom has visited more than 15 college campuses across Virginia. After listening to and engaging with hundreds of students, the message for us is clear: we need to make college more affordable and reduce the pressure of student debt.
The average four-year student in Virginia leaves school owing nearly $30,000. That’ll hold them back from buying their first homes, starting their own businesses, starting a family. That’s why Tom thinks offering two years of free community college, vocational training, or funded apprenticeships for Virginians is a no-brainer — and for those who choose a four year college, reducing the burden of student debt through his Working Families Plan.
As Tom says, it’s not enough to resist — we have to act. Now more than ever, it’s vital that students stand up and make their voices heard.
And when *you* speak up, Tom will be there to listen — and he’ll fight for all of us to have a better future.
