Congress heard from multiple witnesses today that the drug conviction question (#23) on the #FAFSA must go. For 20 years Q23 has waged the drug war on students and exacerbated racial and economic inequities in higher ed. Striking Q23 must be part of efforts to fix the #FAFSA

@Jacobb150 @rachael_switzer @Ilhan It is based not off current situation but like 3 or 4 years in the past tax filings. You can go into debt in that time and fafsa won't fix it for you. Being born into a rich vs poor family shouldn't be a determining factor as to if you can go to grad school.
