Join Engaging Education and Tuition Relief Now in support of the campaign to pass the first student-led and volunteer-staffed ballot initiative in CA's history!


WHAT WILL THIS LAW DO?

It will FREEZE TUITION FOR 5 YEARS for resident undergraduate students in University of California and California State University! The law will prevent any future tuition increases from exceeding the inflation index!!

The law will raise new revenue specifically for the cost of educating UC and CSU student through a 1% tax on millionaires' income over $1 million.

It will also set up an accountability process requiring administrators to students and parents how the new revenue is being spent.


HOW CAN FOLKS IN SANTA CRUZ HELP?

Basically, we need 15,000 signatures on our petitions from Santa Cruz County and 485,000 all together from the entire state! If we can get this many signatures, the initiative will be put on the ballot in November to be voted on!

Stopping tuition from increasing is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE! We just need everyones help to do it!
