I wanted to flag a good article on the <a href="https://www.schatz.senate.gov/press-releases/schatz-lee-durbin-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-restore-educational-opportunities-for-those-incarcerated-and-improve-public-safety">
REAL Act</a> (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/1074">S. 1074</a>) and the building momentum for Pell restoration. Please feel free to share the article widely. It can be found here:

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#292E31;background:#F8F8F8">“There’s a growing recognition that if we’re serious about enabling people to pay their debt to society and re-enter their community and have a fighting shot, that statistically speaking
higher education is bar none the best strategy,” said Schatz, the Senate sponsor of the REAL Act.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
