Labor continues to talk about an American Dream and upward mobility rather than social solidarity and class struggle. There is often a bit of "othering" going on as we mention in passing people from other countries or other states when it comes to social programs and assistance. Still, this short video on Pell Grants helps make people aware of a crisis in education which is real enough for many people. What needs to be added here is an explanation of the DREAM Act and why defending the Act and the DACA program is so important.
