This is the critical week in our campaign to increase financial aid by $40 billion.

To win we need to make sure the Senate hears from students so they know that you are paying attention and want reform - then they will be able to stand up to the loan industry and make financial aid work for students, not banks.

You can reach your Senator at by calling 888-254-5087 Here's a sample message you can leave: "Hi, I’m a student at ________. I’m calling to Raise some Pell! Students are in too much debt and we need more aid. Will Senator ______ support increasing student grant aid?” Then, let us know you called by filling out the form at this site: http://www.studentpirgs.org/action/raising-pell-call so that we can keep track of the number of calls made.
