"The time is right to stand up for Pennsylvania's students and their families who are often forced to forgo college or to take on burdensome student loans. Our high school graduates and returning students should not have to leave the Commonwealth to pursue their dreams. At a time when Americans are demanding both opportunity and affordability, the PA Promise is a necessity. We urge Pennsylvanians to thank their state representatives for supporting the bill, and we urge Pennsylvanians to reach out to their state senators to encourage them to bring the PA Promise to the Senate floor and to support it."

WE REJECT THE FALSE CHOICE BETWEEN GOOD UNION JOBS AND DEMOCRATIC OVERSIGHT OF TECHNOLOGY. "The future we need is one where the jobs created by technological transformation are high-road, unionized jobs built under strong labor standards and democratic public control-not a race to enrich a handful of corporations while communities absorb the costs. The AAUP is proud to support the Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez moratorium." —Todd Wolfson, AAUP President
