Free Higher Education is a national campaign for free post-secondary education at any public institution in the United States. Coordinated by the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute, the campaign has been introduced to a number of academic and labor audiences and has received an enthusiastic response.

The first step of the campaign is relatively easy: We want to build a critical mass of several thousand academics and students who will sign on to a statement endorsing the campaign. We also want labor, student and community organizations and academic associations to pass resolutions in support of the campaign. Local activities and conferences will be planned in areas where the campaign generates significant support.

We need your help and input on this exciting project. Below are links to a brief statement for academics to sign on to the campaign and a sample resolution for organizations. Please review, sign on and circulate among your colleagues and union members. Consider organizing a house party to raise funds for the campaign (the campaign is sponsored by the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute and contributions to it are tax-deductible). Contact us with ideas for local activities.
