CALL TO ACTION!

AANAPISI colleges and universities educate nearly half of our young adults.

But funding is going to run out at the end of this month if we don't get our congressmembers to act. The FUTURE Act for Minority Serving Institutions (H.R. 2486) is being voted on in the House of Representatives tomorrow night at 6:30pm EST.

It's up to us: we must push our senators and representatives to vote YES for Asian American and Pacific Islander students and other students of color.

Find more info on the FUTURE Act
Get your representatives' phone numbers here and call them before tomorrow at 6:30pm EST.

Alternatively, you can call the U.S. Congress Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you directly with your representative's office.
