CSU’s TRIO EOC ceases operations tomorrow. My heart hurts for the personnel and students impacted. Nationwide, many TRIO programs have been cut with vague justifications. This administration continues to demonstrate their DISDAIN toward educational access programs. #ProtectTRIO

I encourage you to ‼️ please call your representatives! ‼️ urge them to release the 2025-26 TRIO GANs by October 1st. If you need a script, here’s a short one you can use. If you want to help even more, spread the word, post with #TRIOworks and #ProtectTRIO, and share what you find tagged with these.
