Hi I am also a college student who has lost the map grant, I am a senior and if the grant is restored it will no longer benefit me but I know the importance of it. I would like to participate in the October 21st rally in downtown Chicago. Can you send me some info and is there anything I can do?

Hey, Alfredo! Do you need help planning the rally Oct 21st? I’m a Northwestern Student who is losing MAP grants. I’ve been very busy with other campaigns, but I’d like to help if you are still planning on the Oct 21st rally!
