This petition is the demand for free post-secondary education and to relieve all student debt prior to this petition.

Created by A.L. on December 07, 2013

We demand tuition-free education from state colleges and to repeal all current student debt. The average student debt upon graduation is $35,200 (http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/17/pf/college/student-debt/) and the fact many of us are stuck working low-wage jobs it seems impossible to pay off these loans.

It makes no sense to impoverish those who want to further their careers by seeking higher education and I am tired of being threatened with poverty because I chose to pursue a higher education. Like some European countries, let's have tuition-free higher education! Let's not punish those who strive to succeed.

And let's no longer tolerate institutions that have been focused more on making profits of its students rather than giving them a real education!
