Similar to the ongoing argument over the last 10 years “college isn’t worth it and more people should go into the trades.”

• 80% of Americans agree

“I would be better off if I worked in a factory.”
• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory

We're grateful to join the UU Legislative Forum today, hearing from state reps and local orgs. Housing was the big talk of the day for the speakers, alongside tips for grassroots organizing in your neighborhood! #CommunityAction
