In order to advocate for change, we have to #MakeTheCase!
Actively advocating for issues that you support — or oppose — may be new to you. But even if it isn’t, sometimes the process can be a bit intimidating. That’s why we’re here to help. Armed with accurate information and the right advocacy tools for the job, you can be a composed and effective advocate for your cause. Below are resources to assist your advocacy efforts, including how-to guides, infographics, state-based data sheets, fact sheets, and videos.
Infographics
- The Dangers of Limiting Graduate Loans on HBCUs
Reducing the cap on federal student loans as a tool to mitigate costs will have a devastating effect on law and graduate programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the students they serve.
- Roadblocks to Repayment
Black law students face disproportionate obstacles when it comes to achieving a legal education, leaving them prone to heavier debt burdens and negative outcomes.
- Importance of Child Care for Graduate and Professional Student-Parents and Caregivers
The cost and lack of access to child care present unique challenges to graduate and professional student-parents and caregivers.
State-Based Data Sheets
Our state-based data sheets provide information on graduate and professional students by state. They capture graduate and law student fall enrollment and degrees awarded using data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the American Bar Association. They also offer information on federal student aid by graduate loan program (e.g., Unsubsidized Stafford, Grad PLUS) using data from the Office of Federal Student Aid. These figures include the total federal Direct Loan dollars disbursed, the number of recipients, and the average federal Direct Loan amount for loan recipients. The data sheets capture AccessLex member law schools in the state.
