As we engage the process of transitioning from President Obama's to
President-Elect Trump's administration, there continues to be
significant discussion about what the transition means for educational
access, especially for individuals and communities that have
historically been neglected or ignored by post-secondary institutions as
well as state and local governments.
Many want to know: "How will my concerns about
my school district or my opportunities to fund a college certificate,
credential or diploma be impacted by the changes in the White House and
in Washington, DC?" or "Will the issues that matter most to my community
be ignored while the issues thought to impact the nation as a whole
take center-stage?"
While there are a lot of unanswered questions
about the current political transition one thing that is certain—if you
remain silent on those issues that matter to you most you can expect for
nothing to happen.
While it may sound cliché, there is power in one simple refrain: all
politics is local. The first step in ensuring that local concerns are
addressed is electing officials who have demonstrated both an
understanding of and willingness to advocate for those individuals and
issues that matter most to you.
