Student parents leave college with up to 40 percent more debt than non-parents. It's unconscionable that this growing group of students and their children are being drowned in outrageous levels of debt.

The good news is that a recent deal in Congress set aside $4 billion in extra funding for higher education, and we want to make sure that lawmakers are prioritizing investments like campus-based child care that would boost families' economic mobility. In the next few days Congress will decide how to spend this money. Will you add your name to this urgent letter to Congress to ask them to increase investments in campus-based child care?
